More quotes by Dolly Parton
Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams. All of them are different styles, but those are the songs that make the times. They're the songs that last through time.
Dolly Parton
Everywhere I go, the kids call me 'the book lady.' The older I get, the more appreciative I seem to be of the 'book lady' title. It makes me feel more like a legitimate person, not just a singer or an entertainer. But it makes me feel like I've done something good with my life and with my success.
Dolly Parton
I feel blessed that I still have the little Dolly in my heart, I'm still the same girl that wants to squeeze every little drop out of life that I can.
Dolly Parton
Truth is, I wouldn't know a gigabyte from a snakebite.

Dolly Parton
I've enjoyed all the parts of my career.
Dolly Parton
We get along real well actually [with my husband Karl Tomas Din]. We give each other space and he's not in the business and he doesn't want to be. I'm interested in his world, he's interested in mine, but we have our own things that we do together.
Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton
I'm working on my life story. I'm not decided if it's going to be a musical or a movie with music in it.
Dolly Parton
I still believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and true love. Don't even try to tell me different.
Dolly Parton
You can bet there's something fishy going on. I guess some large mouth bass left that lipstick on our shirt.
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
I always thought that if I made it big or got successful at what I had started out to do, that I wanted to come back to my part of the country and do something great, something that would bring a lot of jobs into this area.
Dolly Parton
I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.
Dolly Parton
I have a strict policy that nobody cries alone in my presence.
Dolly Parton
To me it's a two-way street. They're good to me, and I'm good to them. It's a natural thing for me to love people, and I think people sense it. ... I am secure with the kind of person I am. I don't feel like I'm better than anyone, but I'm just as good as anyone.
Dolly Parton
When you're 40, you can't ride the fence anymore. You gotta make definite decisions about your life.
Dolly Parton
