The guitar is my favorite and the one, I guess, I'm best at. But I play enough of the different instruments to be able to write with them and to, hopefully, to make myself look impressive on stage.

More quotes by Dolly Parton

My songs are like my children - I expect them to support me when I'm old.
Dolly Parton
I love the accomplishments and the awards that I've received through the years. But I've always worked more for the rewards than the awards. I've always counted my blessings before I've counted my money. I'm glad that new dreams come to me everyday.
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
No matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do - eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other... and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus!

Dolly Parton
I may look fake but I'm real where it counts.
Dolly Parton
I usually eat breakfast twice. I'm usually up at 3 a.m. - do my spiritual work, my affirmations, a little bit of songwriting, get my daily work in order, and by that time I've worked up a bigger appetite.
Dolly Parton
Love is like a butterfly As soft and gentle as a sigh The multicolored moods of love are like its satin wings Love makes your heart feel strange inside It flutters like soft wings in flight Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing.
Dolly Parton
I will not play just an evil part. In fact, I got offered $7 million several years ago to play the part that Faye Dunaway played in 'Supergirl.' I was kind of insulted. I was impressed with the money, but I said, 'Why are you asking me to play an evil witch? Do I come across as an evil witch to you?'
Dolly Parton
If people work for me over the years, I expect them to be paid what they're owed, but I don't expect them to be paid more than they earn.
Dolly Parton
I love to make things happen, I love to see things happen, I love to be a part of things that are happening.
Dolly Parton
If you talk bad about country music, it's like saying bad things about my momma. Them's fightin' words.
Dolly Parton
I have a strict policy that nobody cries alone in my presence.
Dolly Parton
When I sit back in my rocking chair someday, I want to be able to say I've done it all.
