The world is my stage. I try to be good at it, whatever part I'm playing - even in my daily life or when the spotlight hits me on the stage to perform - I gotta be alive every second in this world. With or without the applause!

More quotes by 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 was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It's not true that I'm happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.
Dolly Parton
I'll just wait right here for you cause I know your new love won't last. I wound easy, but I heal fast.
Dolly Parton
I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.
Dolly Parton
I write anywhere. I'm always banging around on the dashboard. Whatever I'm doing. I can make music out of anything. Whenever a song hits me, I'll pick some sort of melody or rhythm out on it, and kind of enhance the song.
Dolly Parton
Here you come again, looking better than a body has a right to.
Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton
We're afraid to live, because we're afraid of dying.
Dolly Parton
Working nine to five, what way to earn a living. Barely getting by... It's all taking and no giving. They use just your mind and they never give you credit. It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it!
Dolly Parton
It's great at this stage in my life to still be in the running, that people appreciate you.
Dolly Parton
There's no such thing as free love. Have you seen the price of Viagra?
Dolly Parton
'9 to 5 the Musical' is perfect for anyone that's ever wanted to string up their boss, which is almost all of us.
Dolly Parton
I don't judge. I'm not God. We're supposed to be less judgmental and accept and be kind and love one another.
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
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
It's when you treat people like freaks that you become one yourself.
Dolly Parton
I always loved books. I don't remember learning to read, it was just something I always did. I was hungry for knowledge, I guess, and information I was a curious kid. I still am.
Dolly Parton
I've never let a rhinestone go unturned
Dolly Parton
I am amazed at the response of my being on the show. Everywhere I go, every young person points at me and says Hi, Aunt Dolly. Or Are you Aunt Dolly? I love doing the show and I love Miley and Billy Ray [Cyrus]. I am proud to be her honorary Godmother.
Dolly Parton
A peacock that rests on his feathers is just another turkey.
