Dolly Parton

I know who I am I know what I can and can't do. I know what I will and won't do. I know what I'm capable of and I don't agree to do things that I don't think I can pull off.

I was always a junk food person still am.

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.

I've been very fortunate.

Children have always responded to me because I have that cartoon-character look.

I modelled my looks on the town tramp.

I do remember how it was to be poor. I do remember that in my early years we had to grow and raise all of our food even our animals. And I remember in my early life we didn't even have electricity. So it was very very hard times then.

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 have surrounded myself with very smart people.

I love to flirt and I've never met a man I didn't like.

It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.
