You can't really make people be any different than what they are.

I don't keep up with a lot of trends. I've never been a fashion horse. I'm so busy writing my songs, trying to maintain my business, and all the new things that come along. I stay working all the time.

I love story songs because I've always loved books.

My songs are the door to every dream I've ever had and every success I've ever achieved.

I'm not intimidated by how people perceive me.

I'm almost like three people. There's me the, Dolly, the person. There's me, the star. And then there's me, the manager.

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.
