Quotes By Dolly Parton

I was probably 7 years old when I started playing the guitar and writing some serious songs.

I love story songs because I've always loved books.

I wanted to be the first woman to burn her bra, but it would have taken the fire department four days to put it out.

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.

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.

I don't have anything to say about other people's art and their work.

I have a big gay and lesbian following and they've been very loyal and kind to me.

I still close my eyes and go home - I can always draw from that.

I can't tell anybody else how to run their life or their business, but I really believe I've got a good bead on myself.

My life has been very full.

You'd be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!
