I'm easy to look like, so there are lots and lots of Dolly look-alikes.
I love story songs because I've always loved books.
'9 to 5,' that little song, that little story, just won't ever end. Just like 'I Will Always Love You,' it just keeps comin' back, popping up its head in one way or another.
Of course, 'I Will Always Love You' is the biggest song so far in my career. I'm famous for several, but that one has been recorded by more people and made me more money, I think, than all of them. But that song did come from a true and deep place in my heart.
I don't have maids or servants, and my husband and I love waking up early and going to the 24-hour supermarket when there is nobody else there.
I'm almost like three people. There's me the, Dolly, the person. There's me, the star. And then there's me, the manager.
There's a scripture that says, 'A merry heart doeth good like medicine.' I think that's true, too.
Oh, I can spot a phoney a mile away.
I modelled my looks on the town tramp.
We just seem to have lost all our morals and principles and values these days.
Plastic surgeons are always making mountains out of molehills.
I'm no natural beauty. If I'm gonna have any looks at all, I'm gonna have to create them.
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.
A lot of dreams can turn to nightmares... if you don't really work them.
I am a tender-hearted person, and I feel everything to the ninth degree.
I'm pretty sure in my older years, I'll be doing old-time flavored folk-mountain music.
'Jolene' has been very popular all of these years, even overseas.
If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one.
It's always great to perform at home in the good ol' U.S.A.
I've been to those places where it's 'poor, pitiful me.'
