More quotes by Dolly Parton
God and I have a great relationship but we both see other people.
Dolly Parton
Most country songs, certainly all the stuff I've written, are stories driven by characters.
Dolly Parton
If there's something you know and there's something you feel, but you can't quite express it, you will hear it somewhere. And you don't have to worry, because someone will get it sung out.
Dolly Parton
Islands in the streams, that is what we are.
Dolly Parton
No, I can't do rap music...
Dolly Parton
Is forever longer than always?
Dolly Parton
There's a heart beneath the boobs and a brain beneath the wig.
Dolly Parton
Those people who wake up and they're just beautiful, they're just born that way. Well that ain't me. I gotta work for everything I've got.
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
Wouldn't it be something if we could have things we love in abudance without their losing that special attraction the want of them held for us.
Dolly Parton
A peacock that rests on his feathers is just another turkey.
Dolly Parton
I never, ever get involved in politics. With politics you are not allowed to be honest. I don't have time to deal with that. I would rather work with kids.
Dolly Parton
I always just thought if you see somebody without a smile, give'em yours!
Dolly Parton
I never know tomorrow what I might be doing. I just ask God to lead me and show me and direct me and help me and support me in it. So I just wait to hear the call.
Dolly Parton
A lot of people have said I'd have probably done better in my career if I hadn't looked so cheap and gaudy. But I dress to be comfortable for me, and you shouldn't be blamed because you want to look pretty.
Dolly Parton
If I'd married someone in show business, there'd be too much competition.
Dolly Parton
I think so many people live their whole life in fear and doubt and shame.
Dolly Parton
Find out what you are, then do it on purpose
Dolly Parton
I hope you're never happy with anybody but me, and every face you look into, I hope you're haunted by me. Yes, I'm possessive and jealous, at least I speak honestly.
Dolly Parton
People say you shouldn't have plastic surgery because if God wanted you another way he would have made you that way, but I say that's a lot of crock. If God didn't want plastic surgeons, he wouldn't have given them hands to work with.
