I was not a natural beauty, and I always wanted to be pretty. I just have such an outgoing personality that it’s fitting that I would be overdone.
Being a star just means that you just find your own special place and that you shine where you are. To me that’s what being a star means.
I hope people realise that there is a brain underneath the hair and a heart underneath the boobs.
If you’re feeling low, don’t despair. The sun has a sinking spell every night, but it comes back up every morning.
If I see something sagging, bagging or dragging I’ll get it nipped, tucked or sucked.
You’d be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!
Those people who wake up and they’re just beautiful, they’re just born that way. Well that ain’t me. I gotta work for everything I’ve got.
Stop this attitude that older people ain’t any good anymore! We’re as good as we ever were – if we ever were any good.
Sometimes my mouth is a little too big and a little too open and sounds too much like a sailor.
I’ve always wanted to be a star. I’ve always wanted money and wanted to travel. So I knew there was a price to pay for that.
I often get myself in love trouble because I’m so passionate; I love so much and so deep.
I have little feet because nothing grows in the shade.
I met my husband before I became a star, and he doesn’t care about any of it.
I know some of the best Dolly Parton jokes. I made ’em up myself.
You don’t need to buy expensive cosmetics; almost anything will do if you know how to apply it.
I was approached about having my own network many, many years ago. There were some people who wanted to start up a network, and I didn’t want to get that involved in the business aspect of it.
My first job was singing on the Cas Walker radio show in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was about 10 years old, and I thought it was big time.
I sing as an actress. Whatever I’m singing about, I just become the story.
Most country songs, certainly all the stuff I’ve written, are stories driven by characters.
I just don’t have time to get old!
