"Sometimes a song just has to cater..." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“I met my husband before I became a star, and he doesn't care about any of it.”

“When its family, you tolerate what you'd kill others for.”

“It took me years to eat a lot of shellfish. I was probably 20 years old before I had even seen a shrimp cocktail. I like oysters, but fried.”

“The song 'Innocent' is a song that I wrote about something that really, really emotionally impacted me.”

“I write anywhere. I'm always banging around on the dashboard. Whatever I'm doing. I can make music out of anything. Whenever a song hits me, I'll pick some sort of melody or rhythm out on it, and kind of enhance the song.”

“Sometimes I write about my own life. And sometimes I write about situations I see my friends going through. Sometimes I write about a scene I saw in a movie. I take inspiration from all different places.”

“There are no creeds in mathematics.”

“What does it matter whether I am shown to be right! I am right too much!--And he who laughs best today will also laugh last.”

“The world being illusive, one must be deluded in some way if one is to triumph in it.”
