Dolly Parton

"The only way I'd be caught without makeup is if my radio fell in the bathtub while I was taking a bath and electrocuted me and I was in between makeup at home. I hope my husband would slap a little lipstick on me before he took me to the morgue."

"I do write a lot of children's songs, and I'm going to do a children's television show, which also means I'll be doing a lot of albums. So I do hope my future will hold a lot of things for children."

"Storms make trees take deeper roots."

"If you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain."

"I'm not going to limit myself just because people won't accept the fact that I can do something else."

"My songs are the door to every dream I've ever had and every success I've ever achieved."

"Adjusting to the passage of time, I think, is a key to success and to life: just being able to roll with the punches."

"If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one."

"Cause I am strong and I can prove itAnd I got my dreams to see me throughIt's just a mountain, I can move itAnd with faith enough there's nothing I can't doAnd I can see the light of a clear blue morningAnd I can see the light of brand new dayI can see the light of a clear blue morningAnd everything's gonna be all rightIt's gonna be okay [lyrics from "Light of a Clear Blue Morning"]"

"If you don’t like the road you’re walking, start paving another one."

"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain!"
