More From Dolly Parton

I Don't Think I'm A Great Actress. I Think I Can Act Or I Can React. Coming From A Musical Background And Being A Dramatic Singer And Writer, When I Write Stuff I Really Feel It. So I Sing It Like It Comes From Here. That's How I Do The Acting.

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.

The Magic Is Inside You. There Ain't No Crystal Ball

When You Come From Where I Come From, If Anyone In The Family Makes It Out, The Others Kind Of Come With You.

I Stay Close To My Roots And My Family. I Never Want To Forget Any Part Of It. I'm Still Just A Hillbilly At Heart, Thus A Backwoods Barbie.

I'm Always Amazed By The People Who Work On Stage Who Sing Night After Night, Day After Day, Week In Week Out.

You Can't Just Wish To Be A Millionaire; You Have To Figure Out How To Earn It.

Stop This Attitude That Older People Ain't Any Good Anymore! We're As Good As We Ever Were - If We Ever Were Any Good.

I Do Have A Few Little Tattoos, But They Were Mostly Done To Cover Scars Because I'm So Fair.

No One Is Ever Successful At Everything That They Do.

As A Songwriter, You're Allowed To Write Anything, And As A Person, I Am All Colors In The Rainbow. I've Been Through Everything, You Know, So I Can Write A Positive Song Like 'better Get To Livin'' Because That's My Attitude. But That Doesn't Mean I'm Happy All The Time. You Can't Be A Deep And Serious Songwriter Without Feelings. You Kinda Have To Live With Your Feelings Out On Your Sleeve And Get Hurt More Than Most People. The Fear I Might Get Hurt Means I Might Not Be Able To Write Another Song.

We Could Afford The Price Of Peace. Love Is All It Costs.

Goodbye- Please Don't Cry/we Both Know That I'm Not What You Need. But I Will Always Love You.

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.

We Can't All Be Stars; We Can't All Be Leaders. We Are All God's Creatures, Living Life, And We Have That God Light In Us And We're Supposed To Let It Shine. And Not Everybody Wants To Be Like Me And Stick Their Neck Out To Get Up On Stage And Perform. There Are Those Like Me, But There Are Also Those That Are Of A Shyer Nature. And They're Smarter Than Most Of Us That Are Out There Showing Our Asses.

God Is In Everything I Do And All My Work Glorifies Him.

I Wake Up With New Dreams Every Day. So The More I Can Do To Channel That Into Things That I Love To Create Is Healthier For Me And Probably For Everybody Around Me. And The Older I Get, The Earlier I Get Up. The Second My Feet Hit The Floor, I'm Awake. I'm Like Hurry, Hurry. I Just Love Life. And I Feel Like We Ain't Got But A Certain Amount Of Time Anyway. I Want To Make The Most Of All Of It.

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.

I Will Not Play Just An Evil Part. In Fact, I Got Offered $7 Million Several Years Ago To Play The Part That Faye Dunaway Played In 'supergirl.' I Was Kind Of Insulted. I Was Impressed With The Money, But I Said, 'why Are You Asking Me To Play An Evil Witch? Do I Come Across As An Evil Witch To You?'

Children Have Always Responded To Me Because I Have That Cartoon-character Look.

My Lips, I've Used Collagen. I Line My Lips With Collagen.

I'm Easy To Look Like, So There Are Lots And Lots Of Dolly Look-alikes.

I Couldn't Have Children, I Tried To For Years. I've Never Been Pregnant In My Life. When I Was A Girl And Fooling Around I Was Scared To Death I'd Get Pregnant, And Then When I Got Married And Wanted To Have Children I Couldn't Have Any. But I Don't Miss It.

I've Had Lots Of Hits Off And On Through The Years But I've Never Had The Success Of Other Artists - One Hit After Another Back-to-back-to-back And Big Hits, Where Every Song Is Going To Be Number One.

I Look Just Like The Girls Next Door... If You Happen To Live Next Door To An Amusement Park.

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.
