I'll never graduate from collagen.
My mother was always fascinated with the fact that I could rhyme so much stuff.
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.
I'm easy to look like, so there are lots and lots of Dolly look-alikes.
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!
People just overshoot trying to find God. They're going outside and trying everything. They don't realize that it's right inside themselves.
My nails are my rhythm section when I'm writing a song all alone. Some day, I may cut an album, just me and my nails.
All of my brothers and sisters are very talented. They all sang all right.
Everybody has a purpose.
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 grew up around lots of men - my father, my brothers, my uncles - so I wasn't intimidated by them.
Dollywood is a family park, and all families are welcome. We do have a policy about profanity or controversial messages on clothing or signs. It is to protect the individual wearing or carrying them, as well as to keep down fights or problems by those opposed to it at the park.
I don't think you ever really know what all you're doing, so you have to act on faith.
