More quotes by Dolly Parton
God is in everything I do and all my work glorifies Him.
Dolly Parton
I'm not going to limit myself just because people won't accept the fact that I can do something else.
Dolly Parton
Working nine to five, what way to earn a living. Barely getting by... It's all taking and no giving. They use just your mind and they never give you credit. It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it!
Dolly Parton
I've never been more moved by a voice than I have been by Roy Orbison. I loved him personally, and I loved his voice. I think of him often and frequently listen to his songs.
Dolly Parton
As a songwriter, you respect and appreciate the writings of other people, and I often get asked, are there songs out there I wish I'd written? Yes. There's many of them!
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
I think I became more productive through not having children. I never really had the desire to have them. My husband didn't want them either, so it worked out well.
Dolly Parton
I don't mind being it [age 60], I just don't like saying it.
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
That traveling man was a two time lover, he took my love, then he took my mother.
Dolly Parton
I enjoy the way I look, but it's a joke.
Dolly Parton
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next. Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
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
Stop this attitude that older people ain't any good anymore! We're as good as we ever were - if we ever were any good.
Dolly Parton
For some reason, I have better luck when I work with women. I guess I have a good sense of sisterhood.
Dolly Parton
I am a tender-hearted person, and I feel everything to the ninth degree.
Dolly Parton
Living in America and, of course, just being women in general, we've got more strength than we think we do.
Dolly Parton
My favorite movies of all times is 'Doctor Zhivago,' and I love 'Gone With the Wind.' I'd love to play some Southern belle or something where I owned a plantation.
Dolly Parton
Of course, 'I Will Always Love You' is the biggest song so far in my career. I'm famous for several, but that one has been recorded by more people and made me more money, I think, than all of them. But that song did come from a true and deep place in my heart.
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
