More quotes by Dolly Parton
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.
Dolly Parton
Adjusting to the passage of time is a key to success and to life: just being able to roll with the punches.
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
I always loved books. I don't remember learning to read, it was just something I always did. I was hungry for knowledge, I guess, and information I was a curious kid. I still am.
Dolly Parton
I was probably 7 years old when I started playing the guitar and writing some serious songs.
Dolly Parton
Everybody has a purpose.
Dolly Parton
I've always loved the fans in Scotland and have a little Scottish blood of my own.
Dolly Parton
Every time I come to Europe, I'm just as excited as I was my very first time, which was many, many years ago. I love that part of the world, and I especially love the fans.
Dolly Parton
I count my blessings far more than I count my money.
Dolly Parton
I've been around longer than most of my fans have been alive.
Dolly Parton
I've never been more moved by a voice than I have been by Roy Orbison. I loved him personally, and I loved his voice. I think of him often and frequently listen to his songs.
Dolly Parton
I am a seeker, a poor, sinful creature, there is no weaker than I.
Dolly Parton
I don't have to keep a diary. It seems like for the last 40 years my life has been lived in the press, so I can Google any date in my history and find out what I was doing.
Dolly Parton
I was the first woman to burn my bra - it took the fire department four days to put it out.
Dolly Parton
I write anywhere. I'm always banging around on the dashboard. Whatever I'm doing. I can make music out of anything. Whenever a song hits me, I'll pick some sort of melody or rhythm out on it, and kind of enhance the song.
Dolly Parton
I can't do nothing just a little.
Dolly Parton
The guitar is my favorite and the one, I guess, I'm best at. But I play enough of the different instruments to be able to write with them and to, hopefully, to make myself look impressive on stage.
Dolly Parton
I don't want to throw rice. I want to throw rocks.
Dolly Parton
Poor little Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan... If those little girls slept with as many men as they say in the tabloids, why their little butts would have more fingerprints than the FBI! I kinda feel sorry for them. We should give those two a break.
Dolly Parton
I've enjoyed all the parts of my career.
Dolly Parton
