Image
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
Image
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 know the struggles of poor people, and have always kept that with me.

My songs are the door to every dream I've ever had and every success I've ever achieved.

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.

I never know tomorrow what I might be doing. I just ask God to lead me and show me and direct me and help me and support me in it. So I just wait to hear the call.

I have a life outside the arenas.
Dolly Parton

I don't keep up with a lot of trends. I've never been a fashion horse. I'm so busy writing my songs, trying to maintain my business, and all the new things that come along. I stay working all the time.

I love everybody. My heart's open to everybody.

I don't make people bend over backwards, and I don't like that in people. I am definitely no diva.

I can't do nothing just a little.

When its family, you tolerate what you'd kill others for.
Dolly Parton
Image
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

I will not play just an evil part. In fact, I got offered $7 million several years ago to play the part that Faye Dunaway played in 'Supergirl.' I was kind of insulted. I was impressed with the money, but I said, 'Why are you asking me to play an evil witch? Do I come across as an evil witch to you?'

I don't know what the big deal is about old age. Old people who shine from the inside look 10 to 20 years younger.

The only way I'd be caught without makeup is if my radio fell in the bathtub while I was taking a bath and electrocuted me and I was in between makeup at home. I hope my husband would slap a little lipstick on me before he took me to the morgue.

I never tried quitting, and I never quit trying.

I have a tendency to be awfully big-hearted and it's very hard for me to say no, even when I need to.
