More quotes by 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.

When I do listen to music, I'm more prone to listen to the people I've always listened to: George Jones, Otis Redding, Alison Krauss and Emmylou Harris.
Dolly Parton
Image
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
Image
I write what I write, say what I say, 'cause I feel what I feel, and if I did it different, it would make me a liar! So I'd rather be an honest person than a good liar.
Dolly Parton
Image
A lot of dreams can turn to nightmares... if you don't really work them.
Dolly Parton
Image
I just can't stand to look plain, 'cause that don't fit my personality. I may be a very artificial-looking person, but the good news is, I'm very real on the inside.
Dolly Parton
Image
I can be accused of trying to be commercial sometimes.
Dolly Parton
Image
I'm very upfront and very honest. I don't let a bunch of stuff fester and boil over.
Dolly Parton
Image
If there's something bothering me in the business end of things with people I work with, I just say it right out.
Dolly Parton
Image
I'm very open with my business partners, just like I am with my husband.
Dolly Parton
Image
Everything is nothing when you got no one.
Dolly Parton
Image
It doesn't bother me when someone calls me a 'dumb blonde.' I'm neither dumb or blonde.
Dolly Parton
Image
I stay close to my roots and my family. I never want to forget any part of it. I'm still just a hillbilly at heart, thus a Backwoods Barbie.
Dolly Parton
Image
The music does bring us together and it's cheaper than therapy!

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
