Dolly Parton recently sat down for an interview with Page Six in celebration of the 31st anniversary of her theme part Dollywood. Here's what she had to say:
“I’m most comfortable in high heels and wigs and makeup and gaudy clothes. Same as always!”
On her upcoming tour:
“I’m having such a good time and the fans seem to be enjoying me. So I’m going to ride that wave until I get washed ashore.”
On always dressing up in public:
“I’d feel like a fool if I went [incognito] somewhere and I looked awful and they recognized me anyhow. I’d rather they just say, ‘Oh, I saw Dolly Parton today,’ than just say, ‘Lord, did you see Dolly Parton? She looked like hell.’ That would be the worse thing for someone like me – a big painted-up plastic doll...I’ve timed it and I can be completely good and ready in 20 minutes. But I like to have an hour if I can.”
On her wig collection:
“I don’t count them, but I say I must have at least 365 wigs because I usually wear a different one every day. But if I’m just at home, I don’t wear wigs. I keep my own hair and I keep my roots done – my own hair is the same [blond] color [as the wigs].”
On her philosophy:
“I’m the biggest phony-looking person in the world and I know that, but this is how I feel comfortable. I think everybody should look and be whatever makes them comfortable so their inner self — their God Light — can shine. To me, I know I look totally phony, but I’m really not...There ain’t much real about me but my heart. I just feel sorry when I see people that don’t know how to even be who they are or they are trying to be something they’re not. I don’t think you should ever be ashamed no matter who or what you are, you should be proud of who you are.”
