Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
[On growing up in a large family with little money:] ... to take a bath ... we just had a pan of water and we'd wash down as far as possible, and we'd wash up as far as possible. Then, when somebody'd clear the room, we'd wash possible. ~ Dolly Parton

Hello God, if we are still on speaking terms, can you help me? ~ Dolly Parton

Being born was the worse and the first mistake I ever made. The doctor didn't spank me, he just slapped me in the face. ~ Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
Wouldn't it be something if we could have things we love in abudance without their losing that special attraction the want of them held for us. ~ Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I learned early on that I could get a lot of attention by singing and writing little songs, so it was like throwing nuts to a monkey ... I just couldn't get enough. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
Sometimes I like to run naked in the moonlight and the wind, on a little trail behind our house, when the honeysuckle blooms. It's a feeling of freedom, so close to God and nature. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
Get down off the cross, honey;
Somebody needs the wood! ~ 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
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
No one could have been nicer, classier nor better looking than Dick Clark. I've had a crush on him since I was a teenager. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
Sometimes, you see folks who have a negative view of dreamers - people who sit around all day on their hindquarters and do absolutely nothing. These folks aren't dreamers - they are just lazy. To me, dreaming is just part of being alive, inspired, and curious about the world. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I've been guilty of most of the stuff that's been said about me to some degree. And if I ain't done it, I probably will. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I don't kiss nobody's butt. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they're not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can 'cause I know I'm gonna have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can? Some days, they pan out a little better than others, but you still gotta always just try. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
Some things are strange to me, and some things are odd. But I don't condemn. If you can accept me, I can accept you. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I've struggled enough in my life to be appreciated and understood. I've had to go against all kinds of people through the years just to be myself. I think everybody should be allowed to be who they are, and to love who they love. I don't think we should be judgmental. Lord, I've got enough problems of my own to pass judgment on somebody else. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I never have thought I was beautiful and I never can get beautiful enough. I'm always doing whatever I can to look as good as I can, nipping and tucking if necessary. When you're older, you probably look more bizarre to people. But I don't care. I'm just totally convinced that it's more important that I be happy with me. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
That traveling man was a two time lover, he took my love, then he took my mother. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I've done everything every fat person ever has. I've tried every diet. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
Writing's just as natural to me as getting up and cooking breakfast. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I feel fortunate that I've had a lot of songs recorded by other people, because I take my songwriting very seriously. It's only those people that have followed me over the years and really know my work that know how serious I am about all of it - including the way I look. You can't take my high heels from me, you can't have my long fingernails, you can't take all this hair from me, because it's part of this thing that I've become. I wouldn't want to give any of it up. Do I have to be ugly to be a songwriter? This is the way I am, and it's what I choose to be. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I don't think you ever really know what all you're doing, so you have to act on faith. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by 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
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
'Jolene' has been very popular all of these years, even overseas. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
Every day I pray about all I do. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I still close my eyes and go home - I can always draw from that. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I wear make-up, and it gets a little bit thicker every year. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
Storms make trees take deeper roots. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
My mother was always fascinated with the fact that I could rhyme so much stuff. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I'll be wearing my high heels, even if I'm up to my knees in mud ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
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. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I often get myself in love trouble because I'm so passionate; I love so much and so deep. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I look like a woman, but I think like a man. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
People just overshoot trying to find God. They're going outside and trying everything. They don't realize that it's right inside themselves. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
My daddy has a chain five miles long, on each link a heart for a lover he has lost. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed Dolly Parton was my mother and I was a bottle baby. ~ Henny Youngman
Dolly Parton quotes by Henny Youngman
Songwriting is my way of channeling my feelings and my thoughts. Not just mine, but the things I see, the people I care about. My head would explode if I didn't get some of that stuff out. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I'll bring my grits when I travel, because I get so hungry on the road. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I get along with all the women singers, but especially Dolly Parton. We talk the same hillbilly language. ~ Loretta Lynn
Dolly Parton quotes by Loretta Lynn
A positive attitude and a sense of humor go together like biscuits and gravy. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I don't mind being it [age 60], I just don't like saying it. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder. ~ Roger Ebert
Dolly Parton quotes by Roger Ebert
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
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
A tree reaches below the surface to gather strength for stargazing. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
Music is my personal addiction. So much of everything I've done has only been to open more doors for the music itself. It all gets back to the fact that I am, first of all, a songwriter and a singer. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by 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
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I have surrounded myself with very smart people. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by 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
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
God and I have a great relationship, but we both see other people. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
[On why she doesn't exercise:] If I tried to jog with these boobs, I'd end up with two black eyes. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
People don't realize that we, we meaning people in show business, have the same problems as everyone else. Money doesn't change that. Fame doesn't change that. Sometimes that brings on more problems. You know, it's just a different kind of problems. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
God knows when the end of time will come, not some fanatic ... The world will end someday, but the end of the world and the end of time are two different things. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
Lee Ann Womack is from near where I grew up in East Texas, so I've always looked up to her. I sang a lot of Dolly Parton as a kid and a lot of traditional western swing, like Patsy Cline and Roy Rogers. ~ Kacey Musgraves
Dolly Parton quotes by Kacey Musgraves
When I first got to Nashville, somebody said that [Kris Kristofferson and I] were the only two people who could describe Dolly Parton without using their hands. ~ Tom T. Hall
Dolly Parton quotes by Tom T. Hall
I just kind of wake up with a new idea and new dreams every day, and I follow that dream, as they say. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I don't have maids or servants, and my husband and I love waking up early and going to the 24-hour supermarket when there is nobody else there. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton and I were the first female headliners, where we would book our own opening acts. Before that, it was a standing joke that it was more like we had 'pretty little girl singers' opening for a male headliner. ~ Barbara Mandrell
Dolly Parton quotes by Barbara Mandrell
I'm just a friendly person; that runs in my family. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I've always kinda been a little outcast myself, a little oddball, doin' my thing, my own way. And it's been hard for me to, to be accepted, certainly in the early years of my life. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
Adjusting to the passage of time, I think, is a key to success and to life: just being able to roll with the punches. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It's not true that I'm happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
It's when you treat people like freaks that you become one yourself. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
Thanks to Botox and fillers, as well as the work that I've already had, my face pretty much maintains itself. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
People think I'm as shallow and superficial as I look, and it's a surprise when they find out, sure enough, I am. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I always like story songs, Dolly Parton, Tom T. Hall, Mel Tillis, Red Stegall, when they'd do their story songs. I was totally enthralled. ~ Reba McEntire
Dolly Parton quotes by Reba McEntire
In the early days, Porter Wagoner would not exactly scold me, but he's say, 'You're writing too many damn verses. You're makin' these songs too damn long.' And I'd say, 'Yeah, but I'm tellin' a story. I have a story to tell.' And he'd say, 'Well, you're not going to get it on the radio.' If I start writing a song, I'm writing it for a reason. People would say that I had to have two verses, and a chorus, and a bridge. I tried to learn that formula. ~ Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton quotes by Dolly Parton
I know my hair is out of the '60's, my clothes are '50's and the shoes I wear are from the '40's. But I like looking like I came out of a fairy tale. ~ Dolly Parton
