More quotes by Dolly Parton

Image
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.
Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton
Image
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'm not sixty, I'm sexty.
Dolly Parton
Image
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].
Dolly Parton
Image
My philosophy is simple: It's a down-home, common, horse-sense approach to things.
Dolly Parton
Image
God tells us not to judge one another, no matter what anyone's sexual preferences are or if they're black, brown or purple.
Dolly Parton
Image
I think so many people live their whole life in fear and doubt and shame.
Dolly Parton

After you reach a certain age, they think you’re over. Well, I will never be over. I’ll be making records if I have to sell them out of the trunk of my car. I’ve done that in my past, and I’d do it again.
Dolly Parton
Image
I've never been pregnant, so I just feel God didn't mean for me to have kids so that everybody else's children could be mine.
Dolly Parton

If people work for me over the years, I expect them to be paid what they're owed, but I don't expect them to be paid more than they earn.
