Dolly Parton quotes about
We love singing harmony, ... And no one has to carry the burden of the weight, which is wonderful. ... There's no pressure. It really came together kind of naturally. We all loved the same songs.
Every single diet I ever fell off of was because of potatoes and gravy of some sort.
Being a star just means that you just find your own special place, and that you shine where you are. To me, that's what being a star means.
Funny thing is that the poorer people are, the more generous they seem to be.
Well, I'm talking about your beautiful green eyes. Are they real?
When I meet someone, I look at their eyes and their smile and seek out the good first - it's easy to find when you're looking for it. You let a person shine with their own light and try to connect it to yours. As soon as I say hello, I go right to that light and I don't care who you are! I know we're all pieces of the same thing - I go for that common light because I know it's in all of us.
I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.
I'm not going to limit myself just because people won't accept the fact that I can do something else.
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.
People will use you as long as you let them.
You'll never do a whole lot unless you're brave enough to try.
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.
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!
Smile, it enhances your face value.
