More quotes by Dolly Parton
I remain totally convinced that if we can do one more simple thing to help kids and adults to learn more, it is to inspire them to read more.
Dolly Parton
I don't listen to music for fun. I ain't got enough time for fun! I'm always busy writing my own music. I don't try to compete or see what other people are doing.
Dolly Parton
I always loved books. I don't remember learning to read, it was just something I always did. I was hungry for knowledge, I guess, and information I was a curious kid. I still am.
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 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
I'm in showbiz. I look at my boobs like they're show horses or show dogs. You've got to keep them groomed.
Dolly Parton
A great smile is a wonderful asset, but a good heart is pure gold.
Dolly Parton
If there's something bothering me in the business end of things with people I work with, I just say it right out.
Dolly Parton
People get a kick out of my stupidity.
Dolly Parton
I'm very secure about my talents and about who I am.
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 don't mind being it [age 60], I just don't like saying it.
Dolly Parton
I couldn't have children, I tried to for years. I've never been pregnant in my life. When I was a girl and fooling around I was scared to death I'd get pregnant, and then when I got married and wanted to have children I couldn't have any. But I don't miss it. I did for awhile, but I realize that I am everybody's mother.
Dolly Parton
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.
Dolly Parton
Find out what you are, then do it on purpose
Dolly Parton
I just can't stand to look plain, 'cause that don't fit my personality. I may be a very artificial-looking person, but the good news is, I'm very real on the inside.
Dolly Parton
I wake up with new dreams every day...more I can do to channel that into things that I love to create is healthier for me and probably for everybody around me.
Dolly Parton
No, I can't do rap music...
Dolly Parton
I always just thought if you see somebody without a smile, give'em yours!
Dolly Parton
Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston. I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, 'Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.'
Dolly Parton
