Quote

I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It's not true that I'm happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.

People say I look so happy - and I say, 'That's the Botox.'

That's the great thing about a sense of humor and a sex drive, you can't wait to share it with everybody else.

Most country songs, certainly all the stuff I've written, are stories driven by characters.
Dolly Parton
Image
I don't think I'm supposed to boss other people around just because I'm a so-called celebrity or star. I hate that when people act that way. No one deserves it. I've seen it happen. I don't call those people out - they know who they are. Some enjoy that reputation.

I just write all the time. In my whole life I've never had what I've heard people talk about writer's block. I've never had that. Life is like a song to me. I just hear everything in music, so I have never once thought Well, I'm never gonna be able to write again. I've got thousands of songs.

I couldn't have children, I tried to for years. I've never been pregnant in my life. When I was a girl and fooling around I was scared to death I'd get pregnant, and then when I got married and wanted to have children I couldn't have any. But I don't miss it. I did for awhile, but I realize that I am everybody's mother.

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.

I don't trust anyone who does their own hair. I don't think it's natural.
Dolly Parton
Image
'9 to 5,' that little song, that little story, just won't ever end. Just like 'I Will Always Love You,' it just keeps comin' back, popping up its head in one way or another.

Everything is nothing when you got no one.
Dolly Parton

I hope people realise that there is a brain underneath the hair and a heart underneath the boobs.
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

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.

No matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do - eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other... and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus!

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!

I had nothing growing up, but I always wanted to be 'sexy,' even before I knew what the word was.
