I always love working with children. I never had children of my own. God has his purposes. God didn't let me have children so everybody's children could be mine. That's kind of how I'm looking at it.

Time marches on and sooner or later you realize it is marching across your face.

Those people who wake up and they're just beautiful, they're just born that way. Well that ain't me. I gotta work for everything I've got.
Dolly Parton
Image
Until I was a teenager, I used red pokeberries for lipstick and a burnt matchstick for eyeliner. I used honeysuckle for perfume.

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

I'd love to develop and star in my own children's show, write children's books, do children's albums, movies, DVDs, etc.

To me it's a two-way street. They're good to me, and I'm good to them. It's a natural thing for me to love people, and I think people sense it. ... I am secure with the kind of person I am. I don't feel like I'm better than anyone, but I'm just as good as anyone.

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
Image
If I could get their attention long enough, I felt they would see beneath the boobs and find the heart, and that they would see beneath the wig and find the brains. I think one big part of whatever appeal I possess is the fact that I look totally one way and that I am totally another. I look artificial, but I'm not.

Most country songs, certainly all the stuff I've written, are stories driven by characters.
Dolly Parton
Image
I think everyone should be with who they love. I don't want to be controversial or stir up a bunch of trouble but people are going to love who they are going to love. I think gay couples should be allowed to marry. They should suffer just like us heterosexuals. Ha ha ha!

The guitar is my favorite and the one, I guess, I'm best at. But I play enough of the different instruments to be able to write with them and to, hopefully, to make myself look impressive on stage.

I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.

I always think of myself as a working girl.

I just write all the time. In my whole life I've never had what I've heard people talk about writer's block. I've never had that. Life is like a song to me. I just hear everything in music, so I have never once thought Well, I'm never gonna be able to write again. I've got thousands of songs.

I don't like to get involved in things that I am not familiar with. I'm kind of a hands-on type of person.

A positive attitude and a sense of humor go together like biscuits and gravy.
