We're not all perfect. People...

We're not all perfect. People always say to me: "Oh you seem happy all the time." But I'm not happy all the time. I'm a human being. I'm very sensitive. I hurt like anybody else. But I do try my best to have a good attitude and I set about tryin' to take care of myself knowing I'm not going to be exactly right, so I just try to see what I can do to improve every single day.

Well, I do listen to God for ...

Well, I do listen to God for direction, but I really don't have time to listen to other artists all that much.

Dolly Parton 543 quotes

I never could get my hair to ...

I never could get my hair to do what I wanted it to do, so I started wearing the wigs. It all came from a very serious place. I wanted to look a certain way.

Dolly Parton 543 quotes

I write what I write, say wha...

I write what I write, say what I say, 'cause I feel what I feel, and if I did it different, it would make me a liar! So I'd rather be an honest person than a good liar.

Dolly Parton 543 quotes

I love writing every song I c...

I love writing every song I can like a little mini movie. I like to have a character, or some characters, and really paint a picture with the song.

Dolly Parton 543 quotes

If there's something you know...

If there's something you know and there's something you feel, but you can't quite express it, you will hear it somewhere. And you don't have to worry, because someone will get it sung out.

Dolly Parton 543 quotes

I don't know that I'm beautif...

I don't know that I'm beautiful or glamorous. I'm a pretty artificial looking person. I sure am flattered when people think I'm beautiful, but I think I'm leaning towards more cartoonish than beautiful. But I'm comfortable with who I am. And since I wasn't born as a natural beauty, I just make the most of what I've got.

Dolly Parton 543 quotes

I got kind of scared when I t...

I got kind of scared when I thought they wanted me to do something... I didn't want to be naked on the front of a magazine unless everybody would know it was a joke. I wouldn't want to be naked even then.

The music does bring us together and it's cheaper than therapy!

With the first money I ever made I bought my Mommy and Daddy a car, and helped them fix their house up.

Dolly Parton 543 quotes

I write anywhere. I'm always ...

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 543 quotes

There's a lot of women now with a whole lot of style but they are not necessarily song stylists. Some of their style is a lot like me and a lot of people sound a lot alike - you can't tell them apart.

Dolly Parton 543 quotes

I don't think I'm a great act...

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.

Dolly Parton 543 quotes

I don't have to keep a diary....

I don't have to keep a diary. It seems like for the last 40 years my life has been lived in the press, so I can Google any date in my history and find out what I was doing.

Dolly Parton 543 quotes

I'm not really a political-ty...

I'm not really a political-type person, meaning that I don't really make great stands or whatever, but if you ask me a direct question I say it shouldn't matter who you are, whether you're black, white, green, gay, male, female. If you can do a job and do it well you should be paid for it, you should be respected for it, and you have to be responsible. I think sometimes people can go too fare trying to make a point. I think they should just make their point and go on about.

Dolly Parton 543 quotes

I'd love to develop and star ...

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

Dolly Parton 543 quotes

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.

Dolly Parton 543 quotes

I love the energy of children...

I love the energy of children. It makes me feel young. I'm just drawn to them. They're like magic to me. And they're drawn to me, the childlike part of me that never did grow up.

Dolly Parton 543 quotes

I'm very proud of all the blu...

I'm very proud of all the bluegrass-oriented albums. It just reminded me and my fans that I should always record acoustic music and country records, along with anything else that I might want to do.

Dolly Parton 543 quotes

Sometimes a song just has to ...

Sometimes a song just has to cater to whatever's goin' on. A well-written song is a song that stays true to the subject.
