A peacock that rests on his feathers is just another turkey.

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.

Image
I have a tendency to be awfully big-hearted and it's very hard for me to say no, even when I need to.
Dolly Parton
Image
Music, I suppose, will be the thing that sustains me in the time of my life when I am too old for sex and not quite ready to meet God. It has always been an essential part of me.

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.

Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams. All of them are different styles, but those are the songs that make the times. They're the songs that last through time.

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.

You can bet there's something fishy going on. I guess some large mouth bass left that lipstick on our shirt.

I believe in my cosmetics line. There are plenty of charities for the homeless. Isn't it time someone helped the homely?

People say I look so happy - and I say, 'That's the Botox.'
Dolly Parton
Image
I always had a very open mind and a very open heart. I always look for the good in everybody and the God in everybody. I play to that. And I just love people. I love the difference in people. I love getting to know people. I appreciate getting accepted myself, because I know I'm unusual. And I love the unusual in other people.

The worst thing about poverty is not the actual living of it, but the shame of it.

I do think there's gonna always be a group of country people that are always going to love the old traditional sound.
Dolly Parton
Image
I think the fact that I look totally artificial, but I am totally real, has its own kind of magic in it.
Dolly Parton
Image
I always love working with children. I never had children of my own. God has his purposes. God didn't let me have children so everybody's children could be mine. That's kind of how I'm looking at it.

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.
