Music lives in me. Life is a song to me. I have the gift of rhyme, and I'm always trying to write and rhyme. Music is just natural everyday occurrence with me.

I don't keep up with a lot of trends. I've never been a fashion horse. I'm so busy writing my songs, trying to maintain my business, and all the new things that come along. I stay working all the time.

I'm easy to look like, so there are lots and lots of Dolly look-alikes.

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.

I come from a family of 12, so I kind of got a little lost as a child.

A lot of dreams can turn to nightmares... if you don't really work them.

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.
