Dolly Parton

I think that I'm perfect. ”

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. ”

I've been around longer than most of my fans have been alive. ”

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 have surrounded myself with very smart people. ”

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. ”

It's a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I'd be a drag queen. ”

Depression runs in my family on both sides, and I have to be wary. ”

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. ”

No matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do - eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other... and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus! ”
