"Life is a song to me...." - Quote by Dolly Parton

“That traveling man was a two time lover, he took my love, then he took my mother.”

“I was not a natural beauty, and I always wanted to be pretty. I just have such an outgoing personality that it's fitting that I would be overdone.”

“Everything is nothing when you got no one.”

“Laughter is the shock absorber that eases the blows of life.”

“The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.”

“We arrive at the various stages of life quite as novices.”

“I don't talk about my personal life in great detail. I write about it in my songs, and I feel like you can share enough about your life in your music to let people know what you're going through.”

“One good thing about music, when it hits-you feel no pain. ... My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die. ... Free speech carries with it some freedom to listen. ... My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever.”

“Ever since the beginning of rock and roll, there's been an Axl Rose. And it's just boring. It's totally boring to me.”
