More quotes by Dolly Parton
We give scholarships to high school kids and a new library of books to every preschool child in the county where I was born. I didn't have books at home so I did all my reading at school. I love books and I believe that helping kids to read gives them a great start in life.
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 learned early on that I could get a lot of attention by singing and writing little songs, so it was like throwing nuts to a monkey... I just couldn't get enough.
Dolly Parton
If I hadn't been a woman, I'd have been a drag queen
Dolly Parton
My fat never made me less money.
Dolly Parton
lots of women buy just as many wigs and makeup things as I do ... They just don't wear them all at the same time.
Dolly Parton
Life is a song to me.
Dolly Parton
Don't get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.
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
My lips, I've used collagen. I line my lips with collagen.
Dolly Parton
When I do listen to music, I'm more prone to listen to the people I've always listened to: George Jones, Otis Redding, Alison Krauss and Emmylou Harris.
Dolly Parton
I always loved books. I don't remember learning to read, it was just something I always did. I was hungry for knowledge, I guess, and information I was a curious kid. I still am.
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
Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston. I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song and I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, 'Whitney, I will always love you. You will be missed.'
Dolly Parton
I've done everything every fat person ever has. I've tried every diet.
Dolly Parton
I've used my femininity and my sexuality as a weapon and a tool... but that's just natural.
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
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
I'm just a friendly person that runs in my family.
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
