More quotes by Dolly Parton
People like bluegrass. It's had a following amongst a lot of hip and young people. A lot of college kids like bluegrass.
Dolly Parton
You can't really make people be any different than what they are.
Dolly Parton
I'm gonna be making records anyway, even if I had to sell 'em out of the trunk of my car. I'm that kind of musician and singer.
Dolly Parton
We get along real well actually [with my husband Karl Tomas Din]. We give each other space and he's not in the business and he doesn't want to be. I'm interested in his world, he's interested in mine, but we have our own things that we do together.
Dolly Parton
I am a tender-hearted person, and I feel everything to the ninth degree.
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
We're afraid to live, because we're afraid of dying.
Dolly Parton
I think [music and acting], they are connected, all that stuff. It's your emotional self, is pretty much how you do it, I think, from whatever place you do it, whether you're acting or you're singing.
Dolly Parton
I don't trust anyone who does their own hair. I don't think it's natural.
Dolly Parton
I never could get my hair to do what I wanted it to do, so I started wearing the wigs. It all came from a very serious place. I wanted to look a certain way.
Dolly Parton
I don't mind being it [age 60], I just don't like saying it.
Dolly Parton
Mine is a jealous heart, imagines things that never are.
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
Sometimes I start with a great title or idea, sometimes a great melody will run through my mind but the higher percentage of the time, the words and music pretty much come at the same time.
Dolly Parton
I always had a very open mind and a very open heart. I always look for the good in everybody and the God in everybody. I play to that. And I just love people. I love the difference in people. I love getting to know people. I appreciate getting accepted myself, because I know I'm unusual. And I love the unusual in other people.
Dolly Parton
Some people say that less is more. But I think more is more.
Dolly Parton
I believe in my cosmetics line. There are plenty of charities for the homeless. Isn't it time someone helped the homely?
Dolly Parton
I think I've got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn't read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.
Dolly Parton
I've enjoyed all the parts of my career.
Dolly Parton
I’m trying my best to keep up with all this new technology and I surround myself with all these wonderful people that are in the know and kind of help me out with all that.
Dolly Parton
