My fat never made me less money.

It was never a marketing tool. People say that, but I dress this way for the same reasons I did when I first started doing it. It still comes from a serious place inside of me. I get up in the morning, and I think I just look better a certain way I do my makeup. I want to shine, I want to glitter. I'm not getting up thinking, "Oh, this'll get 'em." And I'm not doing it to make a statement. I'm just doing it to look like Dolly - the Dolly that I know and the Dolly that you know.

Adjusting to the passage of time is a key to success and to life: just being able to roll with the punches.

Got those moods a swinging, tears a slinging, nothing fits me, when it hits me, ranting, raving, misbehaving, PMS blues.

My life has been very full.

Everything is nothing when you got no one.

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