Dolly Parton quotes about
I think god gave us talent because he screwed up our hair
You can be rich in spirit, kindness, love and all those things that you can't put a dollar sign on.
I modelled my looks on the town tramp.
If I hadn't been a woman, I'd be a drag queen for sure. I like all that flair and I'd be dressing up in them high heels and putting on the big hair. I'd be like Ru Paul.
People make jokes about my bosoms, why don't they look underneath the breasts at the heart? It's obvious I've got big ones and if people want to assume they're not mine, then let them.
I know who I am, I know what I can and can't do. I know what I will and won't do. I know what I'm capable of and I don't agree to do things that I don't think I can pull off.
I feel that sin and evil are the negative part of you, and I think it's like a battery: you've got to have the negative and the positive in order to be a complete person.
My husband calls me 'catfish.' He says I'm all mouth and no brains.
I have a tendency to be awfully big-hearted and it's very hard for me to say no, even when I need to.
I was always a junk food person, still am.
I've enjoyed all the parts of my career.
A lot of people have said I'd have probably done better in my career if I hadn't looked so cheap and gaudy. But I dress to be comfortable for me, and you shouldn't be blamed because you want to look pretty.
I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.
People get a kick out of my stupidity.
