934 Quotes by Dolly Parton

You don't see too many atheists on the deathbed. They all start cramming then.

I don't know that I'm beautiful or glamorous. I'm a pretty artificial looking person. I sure am flattered when people think I'm beautiful, but I think I'm leaning towards more cartoonish than beautiful. But I'm comfortable with who I am. And since I wasn't born as a natural beauty, I just make the most of what I've got.

I have surrounded myself with very smart people.

Time marches on and sooner or later you realize it is marching across your face.

I wear make-up, and it gets a little bit thicker every year.

I never have thought I was beautiful and I never can get beautiful enough. I'm always doing whatever I can to look as good as I can, nipping and tucking if necessary. When you're older, you probably look more bizarre to people. But I don't care. I'm just totally convinced that it's more important that I be happy with me.

I used to always sit in church looking out the windows at the boys, wondering if I could make an excuse to go out and, you know, go to the bathroom because all the outdoor toilets. But anyhow, I was only going out to see the boys.

I try to see the good in everybody, and I don't care who people are as long as they're themselves, whatever that is.

I wouldn't wanna go out not looking like the Dolly people have come to know, because I've come to know her that way, too.
