I never thought, in my lifetime, that you'd be able to watch movies, read books and listen to music from a phone, but I guess the technology of tomorrow is here today.
I'm short and I have a big appetite. I can't do nothing just a little. It's the same with anything I do. It's very hard for me to love a little, have sex a little, to eat a little. I like to do everything, and I like to do it all the way that I want to do it.
I can't keep somebody from being a star, and I can't make somebody a star, and nobody can.
I know some of the best Dolly Parton jokes. I made 'em up myself.
I learned early on that I could get a lot of attention by singing and writing little songs, so it was like throwing nuts to a monkey... I just couldn't get enough.
I prefer my music. I'm more of a one-nighter kind of person than to do a squat-down job for three months or whatever.
It's when you treat people like freaks that you become one yourself.
Some people say that less is more. But I think more is more.
Now Momma's done away with the old black kettle she used to cook in when I was just littleAnd the door ain't sprung on her electric rangeThat little old farm and home we had it ain't there no more and that's too badFolks are doing away with the simple things...
I don't think I'm a great actress. I think I can act or I can react. Coming from a musical background and being a dramatic singer and writer, when I write stuff I really feel it. So I sing it like it comes from here. That's how I do the acting.
Speaking of the devil, well here he comes now. Got my defenses down. And I'd go through hell to make him mine.
I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried has failed.
I love Indian, Italian and Mexican food. And if it's a romantic type of thing, I like a good French restaurant.
I look like a woman, but I think like a man.
