So many of my relatives didn't get a chance to go to school, and my own Daddy couldn't read or write.

When someone shows you their true colors, believe them.
Dolly Parton

I'm in showbiz. I look at my boobs like they're show horses or show dogs. You've got to keep them groomed.
Dolly Parton
Image
I never have thought I was beautiful and I never can get beautiful enough. I'm always doing whatever I can to look as good as I can, nipping and tucking if necessary. When you're older, you probably look more bizarre to people. But I don't care. I'm just totally convinced that it's more important that I be happy with me.

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.

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.

A great smile is a wonderful asset, but a good heart is pure gold.

That traveling man was a two time lover, he took my love, then he took my mother.

Wondering if God loves us when we're cheating? Oh, but why he lets us feel things, if it's wrong.

I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.

I couldn't have children, I tried to for years. I've never been pregnant in my life. When I was a girl and fooling around I was scared to death I'd get pregnant, and then when I got married and wanted to have children I couldn't have any. But I don't miss it. I did for awhile, but I realize that I am everybody's mother.

I love everybody. My heart's open to everybody.
