More quotes by Dolly Parton
If I could get their attention long enough, I felt they would see beneath the boobs and find the heart, and that they would see beneath the wig and find the brains. I think one big part of whatever appeal I possess is the fact that I look totally one way and that I am totally another. I look artificial, but I'm not.
Dolly Parton
I'm pretty sure in my older years, I'll be doing old-time flavored folk-mountain music.
Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton
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.
Dolly Parton
I'm not intimidated by how people perceive me.
Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton
I've enjoyed all the parts of my career.
Dolly Parton
Sometimes when I'm under pressure, if I think somebody is expecting stuff from me, I'll do better than if I was just left on my own. I can sit down - I'm a skilled writer, I've been doing it all my life - and I can get down to it.
Dolly Parton
Is forever longer than always?
Dolly Parton
I'm just a simple country girl.
Dolly Parton
When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next.
Dolly Parton
I describe my look as a blend of mother goose, cinderella, and the local hooker!
Dolly Parton
I can't keep somebody from being a star, and I can't make somebody a star, and nobody can.
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
A peacock that rests on his feathers is just another turkey.
Dolly Parton
Music, I suppose, will be the thing that sustains me in the time of my life when I am too old for sex and not quite ready to meet God. It has always been an essential part of me.
Dolly Parton
