Dolly Parton

Dollywood is a family park, and all families are welcome. We do have a policy about profanity or controversial messages on clothing or signs. It is to protect the individual wearing or carrying them, as well as to keep down fights or problems by those opposed to it at the park. ”

I think I became more productive through not having children. I never really had the desire to have them. My husband didn't want them either, so it worked out well. ”

I do write a lot of children's songs, and I'm going to do a children's television show, which also means I'll be doing a lot of albums. So I do hope my future will hold a lot of things for children. ”

I'm just a friendly person; that runs in my family. ”

I come from a family of 12, so I kind of got a little lost as a child. ”

I do have a lot of gays in my family now, but some will never come out. ”

I didn't know any gay people in my childhood. ”

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

My songs are like my children - I expect them to support me when I'm old. ”

Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods. ”
