I am amazed at the response of my being on the show. Everywhere I go, every young person points at me and says Hi, Aunt Dolly. Or Are you Aunt Dolly? I love doing the show and I love Miley and Billy Ray [Cyrus]. I am proud to be her honorary Godmother.

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.

I think I became more productive through not having children. I never really had the desire to have them. My husband didn't want them either, so it worked out well.

There are some people who physically are not beautiful. But the way they are, the way they treat people, they become beautiful, and you forget all about [their looks].

I do wear wigs. ... I sometimes make the joke about me standing on a hilltop with my hair blowing in the wind - and me too proud to run after it.

Well, my smile's pretty hard to miss, considering I'm a gal who likes her lipstick-the redder the better.

I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It's not true that I'm happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.

I think I've got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn't read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.

I prefer my music. I'm more of a one-nighter kind of person than to do a squat-down job for three months or whatever.

I was very honored to get to be part of 'American Idol.'

People say I look so happy - and I say, 'That's the Botox.'

I'm short and I have a big appetite. I can't do nothing just a little. It's the same with anything I do. It's very hard for me to love a little, have sex a little, to eat a little. I like to do everything, and I like to do it all the way that I want to do it.

You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.

People say you shouldn't have plastic surgery because if God wanted you another way he would have made you that way, but I say that's a lot of crock. If God didn't want plastic surgeons, he wouldn't have given them hands to work with.

I think [music and acting], they are connected, all that stuff. It's your emotional self, is pretty much how you do it, I think, from whatever place you do it, whether you're acting or you're singing.

My boobs are fake, my hair's fake but what is real is my voice and my heart.

People get a kick out of my stupidity.
