More quotes by Dolly Parton
I will not play just an evil part. In fact, I got offered $7 million several years ago to play the part that Faye Dunaway played in 'Supergirl.' I was kind of insulted. I was impressed with the money, but I said, 'Why are you asking me to play an evil witch? Do I come across as an evil witch to you?'
Dolly Parton
I never have thought I was beautiful and I never can get beautiful enough. I'm always doing whatever I can to look as good as I can, nipping and tucking if necessary. When you're older, you probably look more bizarre to people. But I don't care. I'm just totally convinced that it's more important that I be happy with me.
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 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.
Dolly Parton
Speaking of the devil, well here he comes now. Got my defenses down. And I'd go through hell to make him mine.
Dolly Parton
Any business you go into, you have to think about how much money you are willing to put into it, and how much you are not.
Dolly Parton
Love is like a butterfly As soft and gentle as a sigh The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings Love makes your heart feel strange inside It flutters like soft wings in flight Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing.
Dolly Parton
I do remember how it was to be poor. I do remember that in my early years, we had to grow and raise all of our food, even our animals. And I remember in my early life, we didn't even have electricity. So it was very, very hard times then.
Dolly Parton
I love Velveeta cheese.
Dolly Parton
Adjusting to the passage of time is a key to success and to life: just being able to roll with the punches.
Dolly Parton
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.
Dolly Parton
If I'd married someone in show business, there'd be too much competition.
Dolly Parton
Being a star just means that you just find your own special place and that you shine where you are. To me that's what being a star means.
Dolly Parton
People say I look so happy - and I say, 'That's the Botox.'
Dolly Parton
It's almost like being trapped in some other form. The real me is so different from the way I look on the outside.
Dolly Parton
I don't know what the big deal is about old age. Old people who shine from the inside look 10 to 20 years younger.
Dolly Parton
Sometimes my mouth is a little too big and a little too open and sounds too much like a sailor.
Dolly Parton
I have surrounded myself with very smart people.
Dolly Parton
I'll oil wells love you. I'll oil wells care. I'll oil wells need you. I want you oil wells dear.
Dolly Parton
If people think I'm a dumb blonde, because of the way I look, then they're dumber than they think I am. If people think I'm not very deep because of my wigs and outfits, then they're not very deep.
Dolly Parton
