I would honestly say that with all the awards and all the other things that I've done in my life, Dollywood is one of the greatest dreams that I've ever had come true - I am so proud of that I can't even begin to tell you, Dollywood is real special to me.

I haven't stopped working since I was 10.

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

Any business you go into, you have to think about how much money you are willing to put into it, and how much you are not.

Understanding isn't learned from punishment and anger. An iron has no gentle touch, and love ain't learned from hate.

I always thought that if I made it big or got successful at what I had started out to do, that I wanted to come back to my part of the country and do something great, something that would bring a lot of jobs into this area.

Hello God, if we are still on speaking terms, can you help me?
