"I've been around longer than most of..." - 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.”

“I don't have time to stand around and listen to an 11-minute song.”

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

“I don't want to be something that just comes and goes.”

“Donkeys live a long time. None of you has ever seen a dead donkey.”

“I am of a healthy long lived race, and our minds improve with age.”

“I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.”

“The man who does more than he is paid for will soon be paid for more than he does.”

“I got started as an actor when I was 12.”
