[On being overweight:] If I tried to haul ass, I would have to make two trips.

Unless you have spent your life doing something, you are not likely to be successful, so always partner with people who are smarter than you.

I embrace everybody for who and what they are.

I love Indian, Italian and Mexican food. And if it's a romantic type of thing, I like a good French restaurant.

If you talk bad about country music, it's like saying bad things about my momma. Them's fightin' words.

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 don't know that I'm beautiful or glamorous. I'm a pretty artificial looking person. I sure am flattered when people think I'm beautiful, but I think I'm leaning towards more cartoonish than beautiful. But I'm comfortable with who I am. And since I wasn't born as a natural beauty, I just make the most of what I've got.
