George Jones was my all time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world.
A baby, a real live baby was the craziest thing a fan has sent. Someone left a baby on our front doorstep with a note that they wanted us to raise it. Of course, we contacted the authorities and they took care of the baby.
All of my brothers and sisters are very talented. They all sang all right.
I don't make people bend over backwards, and I don't like that in people. I am definitely no diva.
I always loved that old song Banks of the Ohio - it was always such a man's song, so I've always wanted to record it.
I really learned to sing in church, I think, really with emotion.
I always think of myself as a working girl.
I listen to my old records and I think, 'How did I ever get on the radio?'
I don't have maids or servants, and my husband and I love waking up early and going to the 24-hour supermarket when there is nobody else there.
I've always been fascinated by everything with wings.
There's a lot of rednecks in the country where I grew up.
I've always loved the fans in Scotland and have a little Scottish blood of my own.
You always want your people to be proud of what you have accomplished.
I'm easy to look like, so there are lots and lots of Dolly look-alikes.
I'm always amazed by the people who work on stage who sing night after night, day after day, week in week out.
I'm a showgirl, as you can tell. I'm ever ready.
I'll be like Bob Hope, touring when I'm 100.
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.
All my momma's people were very musical. My grandpa, who was the Pentecostal minister, he was a great musician. He played the fiddle, he played the piano.
As a songwriter, you respect and appreciate the writings of other people, and I often get asked, are there songs out there I wish I'd written? Yes. There's many of them!
Every time I come to Europe, I'm just as excited as I was my very first time, which was many, many years ago. I love that part of the world, and I especially love the fans.
First thing I do in the morning, after I have my breakfast and do my spiritual work, is put on my makeup and fix my hair, and I can do my makeup in 15 minutes.
I've never been pregnant, so I just feel God didn't mean for me to have kids so that everybody else's children could be mine.
If people work for me over the years, I expect them to be paid what they're owed, but I don't expect them to be paid more than they earn.
There's been a lot of talk about Jack White wanting to work with me, and I've always admired him, and of course, he lives in Nashville, too.
