More quotes by Dolly Parton
A lot of dreams can turn to nightmares... if you don't really work them.
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
I have tennis shoes with little rhinestones that I slip on if I exercise. But I always wear heels, even around the house. I'm such a short little thing, I can't reach my kitchen cabinets.
Dolly Parton
A gypsy told me I was going to do great things. I was going to make all kinds of money.
Dolly Parton
I think every entertainer's had nights when things go wrong. I mean you can't remember everything all the time, and especially if you're having hard times personally, things going on that you - you know, and then people make it worse. And that makes you feel worse.
Dolly Parton
Sometimes if you jump into something too quickly, you can screw up something that might have been good two years down the road.
Dolly Parton
If I'd married someone in show business, there'd be too much competition.
Dolly Parton
I am not gay, but if I were, I would be the first one running out of the closet.
Dolly Parton
I just can't stand to look plain, 'cause that don't fit my personality. I may be a very artificial-looking person, but the good news is, I'm very real on the inside.
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
If there's something you know and there's something you feel, but you can't quite express it, you will hear it somewhere. And you don't have to worry, because someone will get it sung out.
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'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde.
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
Goodbye- please don't cry/we both know that I'm not what you need. But I will always love you.
Dolly Parton
Everybody has a purpose.
Dolly Parton
My philosophy is simple: It's a down-home, common, horse-sense approach to things.
Dolly Parton
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.
Dolly Parton
We just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days.
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
