More quotes by Dolly Parton
It's a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I'd be a drag queen.
Dolly Parton
I'm so thankful I can write songs. I can capture all those memories in my songs and keep those memories alive.
Dolly Parton
My boobs are fake, my hair's fake but what is real is my voice and my heart.
Dolly Parton
I'm not sixty, I'm sexty.
Dolly Parton
I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.
Dolly Parton
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.
Dolly Parton
I love the accomplishments and the awards that I've received through the years. But I've always worked more for the rewards than the awards. I've always counted my blessings before I've counted my money. I'm glad that new dreams come to me everyday.
Dolly Parton
I am not gay, but if I were, I would be the first one running out of the closet.
Dolly Parton
All my momma's people were very musical. My grandpa, who was the Pentecostal minister, he was a great musician. He played the fiddle, he played the piano.
Dolly Parton
I love everybody. My heart's open to everybody.
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 always just thought if you see somebody without a smile, give'em yours!
Dolly Parton
I'm very short, so I just have to watch my weight because I have a big appetite.
Dolly Parton
A peacock that rests on his feathers is just another turkey.
Dolly Parton
Smile, it enhances your face value.
Dolly Parton
I don't have maids or servants, and my husband and I love waking up early and going to the 24-hour supermarket when there is nobody else there.
Dolly Parton
People tend to fear what they do not know, and what they fear they dislike.
Dolly Parton
A lot of people don't realise I came out of the Smoky Mountains with a load of songs.
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 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
