"If I can get my dress on,..." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“Music is my personal addiction. So much of everything I've done has only been to open more doors for the music itself. It all gets back to the fact that I am, first of all, a songwriter and a singer.”

“If people work for me over the years, I expect them to be paid what they're owed, but I don't expect them to be paid more than they earn.”

“I want to be like one of those little fainting goats that get scared and then just fall over. I want to go and go and then drop dead in the middle of something I'm loving to do. And if that doesn't happen, if I wind up sitting in a wheelchair, at least I'll have my high heels on.”

“I'm not a good-looking guy. I don't care if my nose gets mashed.”

“Ah, if only I had brought a cigar with me! This would haveestablished my identity.”

“Living up to an image that you have of yourself or that other people have of you is inauthentic living.”

“My doctor told me that I really should lose some weight. "You're mildly obese," he said. And I thought, "Well, who couldn't afford to lose 20 or 30 pounds?" He said, "Well, a person in your category." I said, "What is that category, doctor?" He said, "Well, you're what I call upwardly middle aged." And I said, "I forgive you for everything."”

“I've gained a few pounds around the middle. The only lower body garments I own that still fit me comfortably are towels.”

“I'm on a diet as my skin doesn't fit me anymore.”
