More quotes by Dolly Parton
When I do listen to music, I'm more prone to listen to the people I've always listened to: George Jones, Otis Redding, Alison Krauss and Emmylou Harris.
Dolly Parton
My songs are the door to every dream I've ever had and every success I've ever achieved.
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.
Dolly Parton
I'm just a friendly person that runs in my family.
Dolly Parton
I feel that sin and evil are the negative part of you, and I think it's like a battery: you've got to have the negative and the positive in order to be a complete person.
Dolly Parton
If you're feeling low, don't despair. The sun has a sinking spell every night, but it comes back up every morning.
Dolly Parton
A positive attitude and a sense of humor go together like biscuits and gravy.
Dolly Parton
I try to be good at it, whatever part I'm playing - even in my daily life or when the spotlight hits me on the stage to perform - I gotta be alive every second in this world. With or without the applause!
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?'
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
Some people say that less is more. But I think more is more.
Dolly Parton
Kenneth Hari is a true artist and in my opinion a psychic. When he is painting you, he feels your heart and soul.
Dolly Parton
I'm very upfront and very honest. I don't let a bunch of stuff fester and boil over.
Dolly Parton
Writing's just as natural to me as getting up and cooking breakfast.
Dolly Parton
I often joke that 100 years from now I hope people are saying, 'Dang, she looks good for her age!'
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
You can't really make people be any different than what they are.
Dolly Parton
I've tried different things through the years to get some play on mainstream. I'll try to tailor-make it.
Dolly Parton
Life is a song to me.
Dolly Parton
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
