More quotes by 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'm short and I have a big appetite. I can't do nothing just a little. It's the same with anything I do. It's very hard for me to love a little, have sex a little, to eat a little. I like to do everything, and I like to do it all the way that I want to do it.
Dolly Parton
My songs are like my children - I expect them to support me when I'm old.
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
Some of my dreams are so big they would scare you.
Dolly Parton
So many of my relatives didn't get a chance to go to school, and my own Daddy couldn't read or write.
Dolly Parton
Living in America and, of course, just being women in general, we've got more strength than we think we do.
Dolly Parton
If you like good ol' fashion Southern soul food then, yes, I am a good cook! My specialty is chicken dumplings and poke salad.
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
I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.
Dolly Parton
I always just thought if you see somebody without a smile, give'em yours!
Dolly Parton
God and I have a great relationship but we both see other people.
Dolly Parton
I stay close to my roots and my family. I never want to forget any part of it. I'm still just a hillbilly at heart, thus a Backwoods Barbie.
Dolly Parton
My favorite movies of all times is 'Doctor Zhivago,' and I love 'Gone With the Wind.' I'd love to play some Southern belle or something where I owned a plantation.
Dolly Parton
I embrace everybody for who and what they are.
Dolly Parton
I love story songs because I've always loved books.
Dolly Parton
Every seven years, I sit down and make a whole new plan.
Dolly Parton
Wouldn't it be something if we could have things we love in abudance without their losing that special attraction the want of them held for us.
Dolly Parton
Wondering if God loves us when we're cheating? Oh, but why he lets us feel things, if it's wrong.
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.
