My biggest extravagances are also investments. I have several houses in California, a house in Nashville, an office complex, and I bought the old home place in Tennessee. They are different places for me to write, but I can turn right around and sell them.

Sometimes if you jump into something too quickly, you can screw up something that might have been good two years down the road.
Quote by -Dolly Parton
When I'm home, I spend Sunday with my husband. If we're not cooking, weselftravel around in our camper, stop at fast-food restaurants, and picnic. We love that stuff that will harden your arteries in a hurry.
Quote by -Dolly Parton
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.
Quote by -Dolly Parton
As a songwriter, you respect and appreciate the writings of other people, and I often get asked, are there songs out there I wish I'd written? Yes. There's many of them!

Being a star just means that you just find your own special place, and that you shine where you are. To me, that's what being a star means.
Quote by -Dolly Parton
Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods.
Quote by -Dolly Parton
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.

My nails are my rhythm section when I'm writing a song all alone. Some day, I may cut an album, just me and my nails.
Quote by -Dolly Parton
I don't think I'm supposed to boss other people around just because I'm a so-called celebrity or star. I hate that when people act that way. No one deserves it. I've seen it happen. I don't call those people out - they know who they are. Some enjoy that reputation.
Quote by -Dolly Parton
Tell me I have to be somewhere, and I'll be there 20 minutes early and stay there longer than anybody else. You hold up a lot of people if you're not on time.
Quote by -Dolly Parton
When I do listen to music, I'm more prone to listen to the people I've always listened to: George Jones, Otis Redding, Alison Krauss and Emmylou Harris.
Quote by -Dolly Parton
I'm pretty sure in my older years, I'll be doing old-time flavored folk-mountain music.
Quote by -Dolly Parton
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.
Quote by -Dolly Parton
No matter what, I always make it home for Christmas. I love to go to my Tennessee Mountain Home and invite all of my nieces and nephews and their spouses and kids and do what we all like to do - eat, laugh, trade presents and just enjoy each other... and sometimes I even dress up like Santa Claus!
Quote by -Dolly Parton
I've never had that much trouble with the paparazzi, but I don't run the same circles that a lot of these people that do get hounded by the paparazzi.
Quote by -Dolly Parton
Someone once asked me, 'How long does it take to do your hair.' I said, 'I don't know, I'm never there.'
Quote by -Dolly Parton
My philosophy is simple: It's a down-home, common, horse-sense approach to things.
Quote by -Dolly Parton
I can't keep somebody from being a star, and I can't make somebody a star, and nobody can.
