I just always knew I was going to be a star. I was always going to be rich so I could buy things for Mommy and Daddy, so that I could buy them a big house and we could have things.
I think everyone should be with who they love.
I wear wigs all the time on shows, and every day when I’m in public, at Dollywood. People say, ‘How many wigs do you have?’ And I say, ‘Well, at least 365 because I wear at least one a day.’
I try not to go around looking like a hag.
Sometimes if you jump into something too quickly, you can screw up something that might have been good two years down the road.
My songs are the door to every dream I’ve ever had and every success I’ve ever achieved.
People are looking for something a little more stable; people are feeling like they need to get closer to God.
I never could get my hair to do what I wanted it to do, so I started wearing the wigs. It all came from a very serious place. I wanted to look a certain way.
My husband says I look like a Q-tip.
No one is ever successful at everything that they do.
I’ve done everything every fat person ever has. I’ve tried every diet.
I’ve been guilty of most of the stuff that’s been said about me to some degree. And if I ain’t done it, I probably will.
Above everything else I’ve done, I’ve always said I’ve had more guts than I’ve got talent.
For some reason, I have better luck when I work with women. I guess I have a good sense of sisterhood.
I am not gay, but if I were, I would be the first one running out of the closet.
I figure if I keep my health, I have no intention of retiring. I love to work. I want to be like Bob Hope.
If I can get my dress on, my weight is under control.
I’m not intimidated by how people perceive me.
Many of my friends are gay, male and female. I don’t judge people. I don’t care what people do in their bedrooms and people shouldn’t care what I do in mine.
You gotta keep trying to find your niche and trying to fit into whatever slot that’s left for you or to make one of your own.
