Dolly Parton
I had nothing growing up, but I always wanted to be 'sexy,' even before I knew what the word was.
Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton
A great smile is a wonderful asset, but a good heart is pure gold.
Dolly Parton
If you're feeling low, don't despair. The sun has a sinking spell every night, but it comes back up every morning.

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 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
