I have two favorite colors - white and yellow. White makes me feel light and airy. Yellow makes me happy.

I write for myself things that I've gone through.

I wouldn't wanna go out not looking like the Dolly people have come to know, because I've come to know her that way, too.

A gypsy told me I was going to do great things. I was going to make all kinds of money.

I just write all the time. In my whole life I've never had what I've heard people talk about writer's block. I've never had that. Life is like a song to me. I just hear everything in music, so I have never once thought "Well, I'm never gonna be able to write again." I've got thousands of songs.

I'll never harden my heart but I've toughened the muscles around it.

I never have thought I was beautiful and I never can get beautiful enough. I'm always doing whatever I can to look as good as I can, nipping and tucking if necessary. When you're older, you probably look more bizarre to people. But I don't care. I'm just totally convinced that it's more important that I be happy with me.
