ShareBorn Dolly Rebecca Parton on January 19, 1946, Dolly has become an American Grammy winning and Academy Award-nominated country singer, songwriter, composer, author and actress.
Dolly Parton was one of 12 children in a poor family, and had to learn to set herself apart at an early age. She got her first guitar at age 8 and was singing on the radio by age 11. She became a country music legend, due in no small part to her wit, wisdom, and charm.
Dolly Parton has long dazzled us with her many talents, including her self-effacing sense of humor, and witty words to live by. Here are just a few of Dolly Parton’s memorable quotes.
“I hope people realize that there is a brain underneath the hair and a heart underneath the boobs.”
“I’m not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I’m not dumb… and I also know that I’m not blonde.”
“It’s a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I’d be a drag queen.”
“Plastic surgeons are always making mountains out of molehills.”
“You’d be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!”
“I have got little feet because nothing grows in the shade.”
“I was the first woman to burn my bra – it took the fire department four days to put it out.”
“I believe in my cosmetics line. There are plenty of charities for the homeless. Isn’t it time someone helped the homely?”
“I don’t know if I’m supporting them, or they’re supporting me.”
“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”
“Having a big gay following, I get hate mail and threats. Some people are blind or ignorant, and you can’t be that prejudiced and hateful and go through this world and still be happy.”
“My grandfather was a Pentecostal preacher. It was a sin to even pluck your eyebrows, and they thought it was a sin for me to be there looking like Jezebel.”
“I’m in showbiz. I look at my boobs like they’re show horses or show dogs. You’ve got to keep them groomed.”
