More quotes by Dolly Parton
I can't do nothing just a little.
Dolly Parton
I just can't stand to look plain, 'cause that don't fit my personality. I may be a very artificial-looking person, but the good news is, I'm very real on the inside.
Dolly Parton
Until I was a teenager, I used red pokeberries for lipstick and a burnt matchstick for eyeliner. I used honeysuckle for perfume.
Dolly Parton
You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.
Dolly Parton
Jump out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition and yawn and stretch and try to come alive.
Dolly Parton
It's a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I'd be a drag queen.
Dolly Parton
Sometimes I start with a great title or idea, sometimes a great melody will run through my mind but the higher percentage of the time, the words and music pretty much come at the same time.
Dolly Parton
I don't like to get involved in things that I am not familiar with. I'm kind of a hands-on type of person.
Dolly Parton
I hope to die right in the middle of a song and right on the stage doing what I love to do. I hope to be about 120 when that happens.
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
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
People get a kick out of my stupidity.
Dolly Parton
I don't know what the big deal is about old age. Old people who shine from the inside look 10 to 20 years younger.
Dolly Parton
I've enjoyed all the parts of my career.
Dolly Parton
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
Any business you go into, you have to think about how much money you are willing to put into it, and how much you are not.
Dolly Parton
Actually, I hear a lot of rock music. My husband is a big rock fan.
Dolly Parton
I write what I write, say what I say, 'cause I feel what I feel, and if I did it different, it would make me a liar! So I'd rather be an honest person than a good liar.
Dolly Parton
I've been around longer than most of my fans have been alive.
Dolly Parton
I wanted to write a book that talked about the emotions of children, which is the rainbow. We all have moods. We talk about being blue when we're sad, and being yellow when we're cowards, and when we're mad, we're red.
Dolly Parton
