Everybody has a purpose.

We give scholarships to high school kids and a new library of books to every preschool child in the county where I was born. I didn't have books at home so I did all my reading at school. I love books and I believe that helping kids to read gives them a great start in life.

I've never been pregnant, so I just feel God didn't mean for me to have kids so that everybody else's children could be mine.
Dolly Parton
Image
I always love working with children. I never had children of my own. God has his purposes. God didn't let me have children so everybody's children could be mine. That's kind of how I'm looking at it.
Dolly Parton
Image
I've always wanted to be a star. I've always wanted money and wanted to travel. So I knew there was a price to pay for that.

Dolly Parton

I try to see the good in everybody, and I don't care who people are as long as they're themselves, whatever that is.

I'm no natural beauty. If I'm gonna have any looks at all, I'm gonna have to create them.
Dolly Parton
Image
I've tried different things through the years to get some play on mainstream. I'll try to tailor-make it.
Dolly Parton
Image
I want to be like one of those little fainting goats that get scared and then just fall over. I want to go and go and then drop dead in the middle of something I'm loving to do. And if that doesn't happen, if I wind up sitting in a wheelchair, at least I'll have my high heels on.

My husband and I had to raise five of my younger brothers and sisters. They lived with us. We sent them to school.

After Momma gave birth to twelve of us kids, we put her up on a pedestal. It was mostly to keep Daddy away from her.

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.

I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.

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.
