As a songwriter, you respect and appreciate the writings of other people, and I often get asked, are there songs out there I wish I’d written? Yes. There’s many of them!
It’s not easy being young. It’s hard to know what to do.
Life is a song to me.
Money ain’t everything.
My fat never made me less money.
My first phone was two tin cans tied together with string, and it worked pretty good.
I’ve never been pregnant, so I just feel God didn’t mean for me to have kids so that everybody else’s children could be mine.
I never know tomorrow what I might be doing. I just ask God to lead me and show me and direct me and help me and support me in it. So I just wait to hear the call.
I’ve always loved the fans in Scotland and have a little Scottish blood of my own.
I wear make-up, and it gets a little bit thicker every year.
I will never retire unless I have to.
I love the energy of children. It makes me feel young. I’m just drawn to them. They’re like magic to me. And they’re drawn to me, the childlike part of me that never did grow up.
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.
I’ll be like Bob Hope, touring when I’m 100.
A lot of my own relatives didn’t get to go to school because we were mountain people. You have to get out and work and help feed the family. My own dad couldn’t read and write. And my dad was very proud of me.
I’ll never graduate from collagen.
I’m a showgirl, as you can tell. I’m ever ready.
I’m always amazed by the people who work on stage who sing night after night, day after day, week in week out.
If you can read, you can find books on anything you want. You can self-educate even if you can’t afford to go to school.
I’m very short, so I just have to watch my weight because I have a big appetite.
