More quotes by Dolly Parton
I was probably 7 years old when I started playing the guitar and writing some serious songs.
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 think everyone should be with who they love. I don't want to be controversial or stir up a bunch of trouble but people are going to love who they are going to love. I think gay couples should be allowed to marry. They should suffer just like us heterosexuals. Ha ha ha!
Dolly Parton
We're phonies if we're not exactly who we are.
Dolly Parton
My first job was singing on the Cas Walker radio show in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was about 10 years old and I thought it was big time.
Dolly Parton
My songs are like my children - I expect them to support me when I'm old.
Dolly Parton
Life is a song to me.
Dolly Parton
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.
Dolly Parton
I write a little something every day, even though I don't write a song [every day]. Everything inspires me. I'll come up with a line, or somebody will say something that will trigger something.
Dolly Parton
There's been a lot of talk about Jack White wanting to work with me, and I've always admired him, and of course, he lives in Nashville, too.
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
Everywhere I go, the kids call me 'the book lady.' The older I get, the more appreciative I seem to be of the 'book lady' title. It makes me feel more like a legitimate person, not just a singer or an entertainer. But it makes me feel like I've done something good with my life and with my success.
Dolly Parton
I'm always amazed by the people who work on stage who sing night after night, day after day, week in week out.
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
Sometimes when I'm under pressure, if I think somebody is expecting stuff from me, I'll do better than if I was just left on my own. I can sit down - I'm a skilled writer, I've been doing it all my life - and I can get down to it.
Dolly Parton
My husband and I had to raise five of my younger brothers and sisters. They lived with us. We sent them to school.
Dolly Parton
I always think of myself as a working girl.
Dolly Parton
I embrace everybody for who and what they are.
Dolly Parton
Most country songs, certainly all the stuff I've written, are stories driven by characters.
Dolly Parton
I've used my femininity and my sexuality as a weapon and a tool... but that's just natural.
Dolly Parton
