Zitat des Tages von Dolly Parton:
It's a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I'd be a drag queen.
Find out who you are. And do it on purpose.
The only way I'd be caught without makeup is if my radio fell in the bathtub while I was taking a bath and electrocuted me and I was in between makeup at home. I hope my husband would slap a little lipstick on me before he took me to the morgue.
I'm not a politician. And I don't want to be.
I'm not happy all the time, and I wouldn't want to be because that would make me a shallow person. But I do try to find the good in everybody.
Storms make trees take deeper roots.
I just don't feel like I have to explain myself.
I don't have time to stand around and listen to an 11-minute song.
I do have a few little tattoos, but they were mostly done to cover scars because I'm so fair.
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'm trying my best to keep up with all this new technology, and I surround myself with all these wonderful people that are in the know and kind of help me out with all that.
I never thought, in my lifetime, that you'd be able to watch movies, read books and listen to music from a phone, but I guess the technology of tomorrow is here today.
There's a lot of rednecks in the country where I grew up.
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.
I've been very fortunate.
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.
I'm always amazed by the people who work on stage who sing night after night, day after day, week in week out.
I'm just a simple country girl.
George Jones was my all-time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world.
When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next.
My husband says I look like a Q-tip.
I modelled my looks on the town tramp.
When I got somethin' to say, I'll say it.
A lot of people think I'm a comedian.
No, I can't do rap music!
I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde.
I'm old enough and cranky enough now that if someone tried to tell me what to do, I'd tell them where to put it.
My fat never made me less money.
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.
If people work for me over the years, I expect them to be paid what they're owed, but I don't expect them to be paid more than they earn.
You gotta keep trying to find your niche and trying to fit into whatever slot that's left for you or to make one of your own.
I'm a singer, a writer and an actress - when I find something that I feel good enough about doing.
People just overshoot trying to find God. They're going outside and trying everything. They don't realize that it's right inside themselves.
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.
The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
Life is a song to me.
