More quotes by Dolly Parton
We're afraid to live, because we're afraid of dying.
Dolly Parton
We're supposed to be less judgmental and accept and be kind and love one another.
Dolly Parton
Those people who wake up and they're just beautiful, they're just born that way. Well that ain't me. I gotta work for everything I've got.
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.
Dolly Parton
Depression runs in my family on both sides, and I have to be wary.
Dolly Parton
I haven't stopped working since I was 10.
Dolly Parton
When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next.
Dolly Parton
The guitar is my favorite and the one, I guess, I'm best at. But I play enough of the different instruments to be able to write with them and to, hopefully, to make myself look impressive on stage.
Dolly Parton
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.
Dolly Parton
I often joke that 100 years from now I hope people are saying, 'Dang, she looks good for her age!'
Dolly Parton
Yeah I flirt, I'm not blind and I'm not dead!.
Dolly Parton
One of the things I'm real proud of is I just made a deal with 20th Century Fox, and I've got my own production company now. I'm developing some television and movies for other people because I have a lot of fresh new ideas. To write is what I love the most.
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
I don't like to get involved in things that I am not familiar with. I'm kind of a hands-on type of person.
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
I say, 'Yeah, Taylor Swift.' I think she is a smart, beautiful girl. I think she's making all the right moves. She's got a good head on her shoulders. She's surrounded with wonderful people. Her songs are great. She keeps herself anchored. She knows who she is, and she's living and standing by that.
Dolly Parton
I may look fake but I'm real where it counts.
Dolly Parton
God made me the way that I am and it’s my business to be true to that.
Dolly Parton
First thing I do in the morning, after I have my breakfast and do my spiritual work, is put on my makeup and fix my hair, and I can do my makeup in 15 minutes.
Dolly Parton
I've never had that much trouble with the paparazzi, but I don't run the same circles that a lot of these people that do get hounded by the paparazzi.
Dolly Parton
