Dolly Parton

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.

Dolly Parton

I count my blessings far more than I count my money.

Dolly Parton

I don’t like to get involved in things that I am not familiar with. I’m kind of a hands-on type of person.

Dolly Parton

I don’t make people bend over backwards, and I don’t like that in people. I am definitely no diva.

Dolly Parton

I embrace everybody for who and what they are.

Dolly Parton

I figure if I keep my health, I have no intention of retiring. I love to work. I want to be like Bob Hope.

Dolly Parton

I grew up around lots of men – my father, my brothers, my uncles – so I wasn’t intimidated by them.

Dolly Parton

I had nothing growing up, but I always wanted to be ‘sexy,’ even before I knew what the word was.

Dolly Parton

I had to get rich so I could afford to sing like I was poor again.

Dolly Parton

I have a good attitude. And I was born with a happy heart. I’m always looking for things to be better.
