Dolly Parton

I look just like the girl next door ... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park.

Cause I am strong and I can prove itAnd I got my dreams to see me throughIt's just a mountain, I can move itAnd with faith enough there's nothing I can't doAnd I can see the light of a clear blue morningAnd I can see the light of brand new dayI can see the light of a clear blue morningAnd everything's gonna be all rightIt's gonna be okay [lyrics from "Light of a Clear Blue Morning"]

People always ask me how long it takes to do my hair. I don__ know, I__ never there.

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

Above everything else I've done, I've always said I've had more guts than I've got talent.

The doc swore she came out screamin' in the key of E.

I would never stoop so low as to be fashionable.

A bird & a fish can fall in love, but where do they make a home?

If I can hold God's attention, I can hold the world's..

It costs a lot of money to look this cheap

I make a point to appreciate all the little things in my life. I go out and smell the air after a good, hard rain. I re-read passages from my favorite books. I hold the little treasures that somebody special gave me. These small actions help remind me that there are so many great, glorious pieces of good in the world.

Its hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world.

Find out who you are and do it on purpose.

My daddy has a chain five miles long, on each link a heart for a lover he has lost.
