Every single diet I ever fell off of was because of potatoes and gravy of some sort.
~ Dolly Parton
I've done everything every fat person ever has. I've tried every diet.
When I'm home, I spend Sunday with my husband. If we're not cooking, we travel around in our camper, stop at fast-food restaurants, and picnic. We love that stuff that will harden your arteries in a hurry.
I'll bring my grits when I travel, because I get so hungry on the road.
I feel that sin and evil are the negative part of you, and I think it's like a battery: you've got to have the negative and the positive in order to be a complete person.
I never thought, in my lifetime, that you'd be able to watch movies, read books and listen to music from a phone, but I guess the technology of tomorrow is here today.
My favorite movies of all times is 'Doctor Zhivago,' and I love 'Gone With the Wind.' I'd love to play some Southern belle or something where I owned a plantation.
The secret to a long marriage is to stay gone.
I'm no natural beauty. If I'm gonna have any looks at all, I'm gonna have to create them.
Funny thing is that the poorer people are, the more generous they seem to be.
When I started the Imagination Library in my hometown, I never dreamed that one day we would be helping Scottish kids.
I wanted to write a book that talked about the emotions of children, which is the rainbow. We all have moods. We talk about being blue when we're sad, and being yellow when we're cowards, and when we're mad, we're red.
I'm trying my best to keep up with all this new technology, and I surround myself with all these wonderful people that are in the know and kind of help me out with all that.
I'm gonna be making records anyway, even if I had to sell 'em out of the trunk of my car. I'm that kind of musician and singer.
Nobody can ever make enough money for as many poor relatives as I've got. Somebody's got a sick kid, or somebody needs an operation, somebody ain't got this, somebody ain't got that. Or to give the kids all a car when they graduate.
I love Indian, Italian and Mexican food. And if it's a romantic type of thing, I like a good French restaurant.
God and I have a great relationship, but we both see other people.
I still close my eyes and go home - I can always draw from that.
