Here are some of the most memorable and inspiring quotes from CBS News interviews with Parton:<\/p>\n<h2>On her fame<\/h2>\n<p>Asked how she feels about the love and respect she has from so many people, she <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/dolly-parton-cake-mix-duncan-hines\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">told CBS News&#8217; Gayle King in 2022<\/a><\/span>, &#8220;It&#8217;s an honor, but it scares me to death sometimes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m always saying, I&#8217;m not all that, I&#8217;m even not all there sometimes,&#8221; she joked. &#8220;But it makes me feel good that I&#8217;ve been around long enough for people to feel like they know me and they&#8217;ve just kind of accepted me, and now that I&#8217;m older, they just kind of think of me as like an older sister or a favorite aunt and I&#8217;m glad to play that role.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>On her appearance\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Parton often said she patterned her look after what she described as &#8220;the town tramp&#8221; she saw growing up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She wore the makeup, red nails, red high heels, tight clothes. I just thought she was the prettiest thing I&#8217;d ever seen,&#8221; Parton <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/country-star-dolly-parton-looks-back-at-prolific-career-summer-tour-pure-and-simple\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">said in 2016<\/a>. &#8220;And people say, &#8216;Oh, she ain&#8217;t nothing but trash,&#8217; but in my mind, I thought, &#8216;That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to be when I grow up.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When it came to fashion, Parton told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hJtytrOtmzU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBS News&#8217; Norah O&#8217;Donnell<\/a> in 2023 that she just wore what she liked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t care about following fashion,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never been one to follow what other people are doing. \u2026 I just had my own personality, my own thought of who I was and how I wanted to look. I laugh out loud when people say I&#8217;m a fashion icon &#8217;cause I never intended for that to happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>On her confidence<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;I often say I&#8217;m comfortable in my own skin no matter how far I&#8217;ve stretched it as the years go by,&#8221; she told O&#8217;Donnell. &#8220;But I think there&#8217;s a lot to be said about being comfortable with who you are &#8217;cause I don&#8217;t know how to be anybody else. I don&#8217;t want to be anybody else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>On songwriting\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not a genius. That just runs in my blood,&#8221; Parton told O&#8217;Donnell about her songwriting. &#8220;I have a gift of rhyme. \u2026 I always, to make a joke, I said, &#8216;I&#8217;ve got at least 3,000 songs and three good ones.&#8217; That&#8217;s pretty much true.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She often said songwriting was natural for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t stop writing songs if I wanted to,&#8221; she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>On &#8220;I Will Always Love You&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>If people mistakenly thought &#8220;I Will Always Love You&#8221; was Whitney Houston&#8217;s song, Parton said she doesn&#8217;t take offense.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I say, &#8216;You got that right,'&#8221; she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/country-star-dolly-parton-looks-back-at-prolific-career-summer-tour-pure-and-simple\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">said in 2016<\/a>. &#8220;And other people they kind of say, &#8216;No, that&#8217;s Dolly Parton&#8217;s song.&#8217; I said, &#8216;Look, she can have the credit. I just want the cash.&#8217; And I made plenty of it all off of Whitney, thank God.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>On her spirituality\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;I live my spirituality, you know, that&#8217;s how you practice it mostly. You just live it and be it,&#8221; she said in 2023. &#8220;The kingdom of heaven is inside. It&#8217;s right inside of you and you can draw from that, that wisdom, whether you call it God or higher wisdom or a higher knowing. There&#8217;s something bigger than you. I just think you just need to claim it and live it. And you can apply that to whatever you do. I don&#8217;t think you have to be a saint. I don&#8217;t think you have to be so strict that you can&#8217;t have fun. You know, it&#8217;s all about the intent of your heart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>On never having children<\/h2>\n<p>Parton <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/dolly-parton-making-the-most-of-everything\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">said in 2019<\/a><\/span> she didn&#8217;t regret not having children.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t meant to be. And I don&#8217;t regret it. I never regretted it,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I mean, it was a choice. So, you make your choices, you make your sacrifices, and I never looked back. I knew early on that I was going to walk that road &#8217;til God told me to stop. And I&#8217;m still walking it, and He ain&#8217;t said nothing to me about quitting yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>On being mysterious\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;I tell everything I feel that the people need to know and I&#8217;m honest in what I say. I just don&#8217;t always tell everything I know. If you didn&#8217;t think to ask it, I ain&#8217;t going to volunteer it. I have to save some for me,&#8221; she said in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>On always dreaming<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;I never know what&#8217;s next. I always say that I wake up with new dreams every day and the people that work around me say, &#8216;Yeah, I know, your dreams are about to kill us,'&#8221; she joked in 2023. &#8220;I&#8217;m always dreaming. I&#8217;m always doing, and I hope to do that till the day I die.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>On her legacy<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;d like to be thought of as a decent human being,&#8221; she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fcyXCxymL4M&amp;t=1443s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told CBS News&#8217; Anthony Mason in 2024<\/a>. &#8220;When you think of me when I&#8217;m gone, I&#8217;d like you to smile, to think, &#8216;Oh, she was funny,&#8217; or &#8216;Oh, she had a good sense of humor, you know, when she was sad, she&#8217;d make a joke about it.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She said she wanted to be known as &#8220;just a regular person.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I always say I&#8217;m a workhorse that looks like a show horse,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I just hope I leave something good behind for other people to enjoy and to draw from.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside
