Dolly Parton Work Quotations

I figure if I keep my health, I have no intention of retiring. I love to work. I want to be like Bob Hope. I want to keep on going out and doing what I love to do. Of course, I'm no Bob Hope, but I mean that feeling that you never are old and have things to offer and can be useful to somebody. I always want to be useful, I have no intentions of retiring unless I should get sick or something should happen to my husband. Other than that I'm going to work until I fall over.

I have always been a firm believer in working hard for what is right and for making your own breaks if you want things to change.

There are certainly a lot of things that still need to change when it comes to women in the workforce.

I always think of myself as a working girl.

You can't just will your dreams to come true. You have to work hard. You have to give 'em wings, arms, legs...whatever it takes to make your dreams come true.

Daddy worked for God, but asked for no pay. For he believed that God provides a way.

Jump out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition and yawn and stretch and try to come alive.

They let you dream just to watch them shatter, you're just a step on the boss man's ladder.

I have a person who works in my organization who once was a woman and now is a man. I didn't know for years that this person had had a sex change. I know what a wonderful person he is, and I based some of my feelings (in the song) on my feelings for him and on knowing what he went through.

I was so flattered and honored that they liked me so much. It really worked out to be a wonderful friendship,
