Dolly Parton
I'm so thankful I can write songs. I can capture all those memories in my songs and keep those memories alive.
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 don't listen to music for fun. I ain't got enough time for fun! I'm always busy writing my own music. I don't try to compete or see what other people are doing.

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.

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've always kinda been a little outcast myself, a little oddball, doin' my thing, my own way. And it's been hard for me to, to be accepted, certainly in the early years of my life.
Dolly Parton
I don't want to throw rice. I want to throw rocks.
Dolly Parton
There are some people who physically are not beautiful. But the way they are, the way they treat people, they become beautiful, and you forget all about [their looks].
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
You are the song of every bird, you are the poet's every word, every artist's picture, every writer's play.
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 do wear wigs. ... I sometimes make the joke about me standing on a hilltop with my hair blowing in the wind - and me too proud to run after it.
