When I'm inspired, I get excited because I can't wait to see what I'll come up with next.

I have a tendency to be awfully big-hearted and it's very hard for me to say no, even when I need to.

I wear wigs all the time on shows, and every day when I'm in public, at Dollywood. People say, 'How many wigs do you have?' And I say, 'Well, at least 365 because I wear at least one a day.'

There are some people who physically are not beautiful. But the way they are, the way they treat people, they become beautiful, and you forget all about [their looks].

Mama sewed the rags together, sewing every piece with love. She made my coat of many colors that I was proud of.

It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.

I try to be good at it, whatever part I'm playing - even in my daily life or when the spotlight hits me on the stage to perform - I gotta be alive every second in this world. With or without the applause!
