If you can read, you can find books on anything you want. You can self-educate even if you can't afford to go to school.
Dolly Parton
Image
A lot of dreams can turn to nightmares... if you don't really work them.
Dolly Parton
Image
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
Image
I don't listen to music for fun. I ain't got enough time for fun! I'm always busy writing my own music. I don't try to compete or see what other people are doing.
