When you’re Dolly Parton, you already lived out Jay Z‘s line “I’m in the hall already. I’m on the wall already. I’m a work of art. I’m Warhol already,” … 40 years ago.

Whatever it means to you,

Dolly’s message is:

Go Big, or Go Home.

Dolly Big Hair

Dolly told People magazine, “…there are some golden rules in life: “Be true to yourself. You need to know what you will and won’t put up with, and what you’re willing to sacrifice. A desire, a wish and a dream are different things, and you’ve gotta figure out those little differences. Everybody wishes that they were rich or famous, but that’s not necessarily going to happen if you don’t have the spunk to make it happen. You gotta work your dreams; you gotta put legs and arms and arms and wings on them!”

“The key to my success has always been that my desire to succeed has always been greater than my fear. I’ve been scared to death about a lot of things, but then I think, ‘Okay, you gotta buckle up, girl. You’ve got yourself here, so get out there and just do it.’

Got confidence, ladies?

When you’re Dolly Parton,

age means nothing. 

It just means bigger, stronger, better.

“I will never be over.”
