More quotes by Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton
I don't mind being it [age 60], I just don't like saying it.
Dolly Parton
You're not going to see your dreams come true if you don't put wings, legs, arms, hands, and feet on 'em.

It's a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I'd be a drag queen.
Dolly Parton
Well, my smile's pretty hard to miss, considering I'm a gal who likes her lipstick-the redder the better.
Dolly Parton
I don't know that I'm beautiful or glamorous. I'm a pretty artificial looking person. I sure am flattered when people think I'm beautiful, but I think I'm leaning towards more cartoonish than beautiful. But I'm comfortable with who I am. And since I wasn't born as a natural beauty, I just make the most of what I've got.
Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton
Some things are strange to me, and some things are odd. But I don't condemn. If you can accept me, I can accept you.
Dolly Parton
I haven't stopped working since I was 10.
Dolly Parton
I'm in the public eye, so I don't care who knows what I get done. If I see something sagging, dragging, or bagging, I get it sucked, tucked, or plucked.
Dolly Parton
I've always believed in my talent. And I've always had more guts than talent.
Dolly Parton
I enjoy the way I look, but it's a joke.
Dolly Parton
Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods. But we are idols and we're all gods, so to speak, and I think that celebrities should acknowledge their responsibility, because we are in a position to help.
Dolly Parton
I don't have to keep a diary. It seems like for the last 40 years my life has been lived in the press, so I can Google any date in my history and find out what I was doing.
Dolly Parton
If you can read, you can find books on anything you want. You can self-educate even if you can't afford to go to school.
Dolly Parton
I've never been more moved by a voice than I have been by Roy Orbison. I loved him personally, and I loved his voice. I think of him often and frequently listen to his songs.
Dolly Parton
A great smile is a wonderful asset, but a good heart is pure gold.
Dolly Parton
People don't realize that, you know, we have - we meaning people in show business have the same problems as everybody else. Money don't change that. Fame don't change that. Sometimes that brings on more problems. You know, it's just a - different kind of problems. As they say, money ain't everything.
