More quotes by Dolly Parton
First thing I do in the morning, after I have my breakfast and do my spiritual work, is put on my makeup and fix my hair, and I can do my makeup in 15 minutes.
Dolly Parton
I love everybody. My heart's open to everybody.
Dolly Parton
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.
Dolly Parton
Plastic surgeons are always making mountains out of molehills.
Dolly Parton
Jump out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition and yawn and stretch and try to come alive.
Dolly Parton
My first job was singing on the Cas Walker radio show in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was about 10 years old and I thought it was big time.
Dolly Parton
I wanted to write a book that talked about the emotions of children, which is the rainbow. We all have moods. We talk about being blue when we're sad, and being yellow when we're cowards, and when we're mad, we're red.
Dolly Parton
You gotta keep trying to find your niche and trying to fit into whatever slot that's left for you or to make one of your own.
Dolly Parton
I'm one of those people that if its something to eat I'm going to eat the whole thing, If I'm going to be in love I'm going to love you all the way and if my heart's broken, it's just shattered all to pieces.
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
Until I was a teenager, I used red pokeberries for lipstick and a burnt matchstick for eyeliner. I used honeysuckle for perfume.
Dolly Parton
I think [music and acting], they are connected, all that stuff. It's your emotional self, is pretty much how you do it, I think, from whatever place you do it, whether you're acting or you're singing.
Dolly Parton
I'm just a friendly person that runs in my family.
Dolly Parton
I don't keep up with a lot of trends. I've never been a fashion horse. I'm so busy writing my songs, trying to maintain my business, and all the new things that come along. I stay working all the time.
Dolly Parton
You're not going to see your dreams come true if you don't put wings, legs, arms, hands, and feet on 'em.
Dolly Parton
Having a big gay following, I get hate mail and threats. Some people are blind or ignorant, and you can't be that prejudiced and hateful and go through this world and still be happy.
Dolly Parton
Being a star just means that you just find your own special place and that you shine where you are. To me that's what being a star means.
Dolly Parton
Life is a song to me.
Dolly Parton
I prefer my music. I'm more of a one-nighter kind of person than to do a squat-down job for three months or whatever.
Dolly Parton
You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.
Dolly Parton
