If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold, I'd have all the treasures my pockets could hold.

I don't want to throw rice. I want to throw rocks.

I think 9/11 affected everybody in one way or another.

Cheating love is just as real as un-cheating love.

I am amazed at the response of my being on the show. Everywhere I go, every young person points at me and says "Hi, Aunt Dolly." Or "Are you Aunt Dolly?" I love doing the show and I love Miley and Billy Ray [Cyrus]. I am proud to be her honorary Godmother.

I think my life actually changed at 40. That's when you realize you can't ride the fence anymore. You either have to get on one side or the other. I think some of my best years were between 40 and 50: I got my priorities straight and life is good to me now. It's only other people who say, "God, she's 50 years old!" as if I'm over the hill. I feel like I just started.

I'd love to develop and star in my own children's show, write children's books, do children's albums, movies, DVDs, etc.
