Writing's just as natural to me as getting up and cooking breakfast.

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.

We're supposed to be less judgmental and accept and be kind and love one another.

All the fame and fortune, glory and prestige, can't make me happy if it goes against what I believe.

A great smile is a wonderful asset, but a good heart is pure gold.

I would honestly say that with all the awards and all the other things that I've done in my life, Dollywood is one of the greatest dreams that I've ever had come true - I am so proud of that I can't even begin to tell you, Dollywood is real special to me.

I went to bed hungry many nights as a child. It was a Dream that dressed me up when I was ragged, and it was a Dream that filled me up when I was hungry. Now it's my Dream to see that no child in this world ever goes hungry, certainly not here in America, the most bountiful country in the world. We can do better...we must!
