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
As a songwriter, you respect and appreciate the writings of other people, and I often get asked, are there songs out there I wish I'd written? Yes. There's many of them!
Dolly Parton
If we can't be true to ourselves, what can we be true to?
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
I do remember how it was to be poor. I do remember that in my early years, we had to grow and raise all of our food, even our animals. And I remember in my early life, we didn't even have electricity. So it was very, very hard times then.
Dolly Parton
I don't make people bend over backwards, and I don't like that in people. I am definitely no diva.
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

All the fame and fortune, glory and prestige, can't make me happy if it goes against what I believe.
Dolly Parton
I'm very upfront and very honest. I don't let a bunch of stuff fester and boil over.
Dolly Parton
I want to be like one of those little fainting goats that get scared and then just fall over. I want to go and go and then drop dead in the middle of something I'm loving to do. And if that doesn't happen, if I wind up sitting in a wheelchair, at least I'll have my high heels on.
Dolly Parton
Music, I suppose, will be the thing that sustains me in the time of my life when I am too old for sex and not quite ready to meet God. It has always been an essential part of me.
Dolly Parton
If I can get my dress on, my weight is under control.
Dolly Parton
I don't trust anyone who does their own hair. I don't think it's natural.
Dolly Parton
I'm very short, so I just have to watch my weight because I have a big appetite.
Dolly Parton
I'm not sixty, I'm sexty.
Dolly Parton
Mine is a jealous heart, imagines things that never are.
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
Got those moods a swinging, tears a slinging, nothing fits me, when it hits me, ranting, raving, misbehaving, PMS blues.
Dolly Parton
