More quotes by Dolly Parton
I think your values are always influenced by your family and your community.
Dolly Parton
Now I usually try not to give advice. Information, yes, advice, no. But, what has worked for me may not work for you. Well, take for instance what has worked for me. Wigs. Tight clothes. Push up bras.
Dolly Parton
I write a little something every day, even though I don't write a song [every day]. Everything inspires me. I'll come up with a line, or somebody will say something that will trigger something.
Dolly Parton
I'm just a friendly person that runs in my family.
Dolly Parton
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next. Find out who you are and do it on purpose.

Her songs are great. She keeps herself anchored. She knows who she is, and she's living and standing by that.
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 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
If you like good ol' fashion Southern soul food then, yes, I am a good cook! My specialty is chicken dumplings and poke salad.
Dolly Parton
God tells us not to judge one another, no matter what anyone's sexual preferences are or if they're black, brown or purple.
Dolly Parton
I have a life outside the arenas.
Dolly Parton
It doesn't bother me when someone calls me a 'dumb blonde.' I'm neither dumb or blonde.
Dolly Parton
I love thinking, I love coming up with great ideas. I just get excited. Sometimes if I get a big idea, I'm just like a kid, like I've found a new toy.
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 can be accused of trying to be commercial sometimes.
Dolly Parton
There's no such thing as free love. Have you seen the price of Viagra?
Dolly Parton
I enjoy the way I look, but it's a joke.
Dolly Parton
That traveling man was a two time lover, he took my love, then he took my mother.
