"Love is something sent from Heaven to..." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“I wanted to be a singer, of course, but there was something about the songwriting, then and now, that is the most important thing. It's how I express myself, how I express how I see things. When I see people struggling with emotions and feelings and don't know how to put it down, I'm able to do that. It's really like a therapy, and it's like a buddy and a friend. It's a way out of a lot of things.”

“I love to make things happen, I love to see things happen, I love to be a part of things that are happening.”

“I think [music and acting], they are connected, all that stuff. It's your emotional self, is pretty much how you do it, I think, from whatever place you do it, whether you're acting or you're singing.”

“Love has various lodgings; the same word does not always signify the same thing.”

“A woman waits for me, she contains all, nothing lacking.”

“Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, Shall win my love.”

“[On the birth of son William:] Thank goodness he hasn't got ears like his father.”

“A scary dream makes your heart beat faster. Why doesn't the part of your brain that controls your heartbeat realize that another part of your brain is making the whole thing up? Don't these people communicate?”

“You don't have to be a star to get a cheese sandwich. You just have to be first.”
