More quotes by Dolly Parton
I don't listen to music for fun. I ain't got enough time for fun! I'm always busy writing my own music. I don't try to compete or see what other people are doing.
Dolly Parton
My aunt in Knoxville would bring newspapers up, which we used for toilet paper. Before we used it, we'd look at the pictures.
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 didn't know any gay people in my childhood.
Dolly Parton
People always ask me how long it takes to do my hair. I don’t know, I’m never there.
Dolly Parton
I try to see the good in everybody, and I don't care who people are as long as they're themselves, whatever that is.
Dolly Parton
I'm short and I have a big appetite. I can't do nothing just a little. It's the same with anything I do. It's very hard for me to love a little, have sex a little, to eat a little. I like to do everything, and I like to do it all the way that I want to do it.
Dolly Parton
I haven't stopped working since I was 10.
Dolly Parton
I always wanted to be loved.
Dolly Parton
I'm very short, so I just have to watch my weight because I have a big appetite.
Dolly Parton
I have to not harden my heart, because I want to stay open to feel things.
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
It doesn't bother me when someone calls me a 'dumb blonde.' I'm neither dumb or blonde.
Dolly Parton
I describe my look as a blend of mother goose, cinderella, and the local hooker!
Dolly Parton
I've done everything every fat person ever has. I've tried every diet.
Dolly Parton
I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.
Dolly Parton
I have a tendency to be awfully big-hearted and it's very hard for me to say no, even when I need to.
Dolly Parton
A baby, a real live baby was the craziest thing a fan has sent. Someone left a baby on our front doorstep with a note that they wanted us to raise it. Of course, we contacted the authorities and they took care of the baby.
Dolly Parton
A positive attitude and a sense of humor go together like biscuits and gravy.
Dolly Parton
Many of my friends are gay, male and female. I don't judge people. I don't care what people do in their bedrooms and people shouldn't care what I do in mine.
Dolly Parton
