Ive never had a divorce, but Ive seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that cant write about it. I take on their sorrow, so Im able to kind of express it, or their joy. – Dolly Parton
I think Ive got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldnt read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with. – Dolly Parton
