"'Wrecking Ball' is a great song...." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“I come from a family of 12, so I kind of got a little lost as a child.”

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

“I've done everything every fat person ever has. I've tried every diet.”

“I wish I could play bass like Larry Graham or Bootsy Collins. My God, I'd give up just about everything else for that.”

“I would like to be remembered as a man who brought an innovation to popular singing.”

“I enjoy singing my songs in front of people. I enjoy being involved in making the artwork for albums and stupid stuff like that.”

“The speech of my heart will be carried on in murmurings of a song.”

“Chip the glasses and crack the plates! / Blunt the knives and bend the forks! / That's what Bilbo Baggins hates.”

“XI I sang his name instead of song; Over and over I sang his name: Backward and forward I sang it along, With my sweetest notes, it was still the same! I sang it low, that the slave-girls near Might never guess, from what they could hear, That all the song was a name.”
