I hope people realise that there is a brain underneath the hair and a heart underneath the boobs.

My mama never wore a pair of pants when I was growing up, and now that's all she wears. It was so funny for me when I first started seeing Mama wear pants. It was like it wasn't Mama. Now I've bought her many a pantsuit because she just lives in them.

I was born in an odd spot and was a very sensitive kid. My feelings could get hurt so easily because I always wanted to be loved, I wanted to be touched, I wanted to touch somebody. I wanted everybody to love me, so I think I was louder than I should have been. I was just trying to get attention. I always felt like I was somebody special, maybe it's because I needed to be somebody special.

I'm almost like three people. There's me the, Dolly, the person. There's me, the star. And then there's me, the manager.

There's nothing like white trash at the White House.

Wouldn't it be something if we could have things we love in abudance without their losing that special attraction the want of them held for us.

You can't just will your dreams to come true. You have to work hard. You have to give 'em wings, arms, legs...whatever it takes to make your dreams come true.
