Respect Each Other’s Privacy

edp49-1.jpgParton told Vogue, “My husband is not one who wants to be just thrown out there. He’s very private, and I’ve always respected that for him and about him. And so, we just try to live our lives. Everybody is not entitled to every single thing you do and thought you think, although I do share as much of my life as I possibly can… but there are just some things that are sacred and private.”

Don’t Believe In Rumors

edp50-1.jpgAll the rumors of Parton’s affair with other men haven’t affected the relationship between her and Carl.Parton told The Guardian, “Well, the steady marriage is one thing, but my flirtations, all that stuff, that’s something else entirely. My husband knows I’m always coming home… Everyone wants to get into the dirt. I wouldn’t tell you if I had. How would I tell that? …Maybe I did. Maybe I didn’t. Maybe I will. Maybe I won’t. And it’s one of your [expletive] business!”

Dedicated Wig Closet

But we always have a cabinet in the back of the bus to carry show wigs… I can’t really count them all. I always make a joke and say, ‘I wear one almost every day, so I must have at least 365!’”

Bunker For Dresses

Her manager, Danny Nozell said in an interview,“It’s like a weapons silo. Huge metal doors. You need to blow them off to get in there.” Clearly, there’s a huge arsenal of clothes that Dolly has at her disposal. The amazing length of her career also demanded the same.

 Can’t Get Away

In an interview, she said,“I did my makeup completely different with dark eyebrows and wore a short black wig and wore different clothes than I would normally wear. And I was in a record shop buying stuff with friends that nobody would have recognized. And I said something, and this group of kids said, ‘You’re Dolly Parton in a black wig.’ My voice is as recognizable as my looks.”

 Has That “Spark”

edp54-1.jpgWhen asked about the reason for her tremendous success. She said,“I really do ask the Almighty every single day to let me do something, say something, be something that matters to somebody else. To make somebody feel good. To let people see a spark of love… You’re taught not to judge, and you’re supposed to love your neighbor like yourself. I want to be loved, and so I try to love everybody.”
