There's so much about Dolly Parton that every female artist should look to, whether it's reading her quotes or reading her interviews or going to one of her live shows. She's been such an amazing example to every female songwriter out there.

I think that personality traits that come through when somebody is really sincere is what makes them beautiful.

I've gotten into this nasty habit of running away from love, but maybe one day I can find the exception to that.

Life is like walking you take one step at a time.

I haven't had that one great love, which is good. I don't want that to be in the past - I want it to be in the future.

I don’t think I was born to be in the club. Just to throw that out there.

Music is my shining light, my favorite thing in the world. T get me to stop doing it for one second would be difficult!
