I think being poor has been good for me. I saw how my mom and dad struggled, and how they could stretch a dollar farther than you could begin to imagine.

More quotes by Dolly Parton
I always wanted to be loved.
Dolly Parton
You can't really make people be any different than what they are.
Dolly Parton
My fat never made me less money.
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
Music lives in me. Life is a song to me. I have the gift of rhyme, and I'm always trying to write and rhyme. Music is just natural everyday occurrence with me.
Dolly Parton
Life is a song to me.
Dolly Parton
Thanks to Botox and fillers, as well as the work that I've already had, my face pretty much maintains itself.
Dolly Parton
It's not easy being young. It's hard to know what to do.
Dolly Parton
For some reason, I have better luck when I work with women. I guess I have a good sense of sisterhood.
Dolly Parton
Everything is nothing when you got no one.
Dolly Parton
I'm not intimidated by how people perceive me.
Dolly Parton
Being born was the worse and the first mistake I ever made. The doctor didn't spank me, he just slapped me in the face.
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.
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 don't mind being it [age 60], I just don't like saying it.
Dolly Parton
Everywhere I go, the kids call me 'the book lady.' The older I get, the more appreciative I seem to be of the 'book lady' title. It makes me feel more like a legitimate person, not just a singer or an entertainer. But it makes me feel like I've done something good with my life and with my success.
Dolly Parton
I've copyrighted 3,000 songs.
Dolly Parton
I think people take me as seriously as I want them to. They take me as seriously as I take myself - let's put it that way.
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
I feel that sin and evil are the negative part of you, and I think it's like a battery: you've got to have the negative and the positive in order to be a complete person.
Dolly Parton
