Located at the foothills of the great Smoky Mountains lies a city called Sevierville, Tennessee.
At the heart of all of Partons projects is a commitment to self.
And you want people to follow you around and say, [sniffs] What are you wearing?
and youll say, ‘Im wearing Dolly, Scent from Above.'"
She lets out her classic hearty giggle.
I don’t ever have a go at outdo anyone else or compete with anyone else.

I am my own competition, and I just attempt to make and break my own records.
I press her for all of the details.
Or you’ve got the option to go overboard like I often do.

So hopefully we’ll have something where everybody can just use it in their own way.
But it’ll be a wonderful product and hopefully affordable.
So I give a shot to dress and wear my makeup according to how I feel the best.

And I know that that’s not always the right way to do it.
And I know exactly, you know, what I’m doing.
And I don’t know that…

It makes it easier to look at while you’re trying to get your message across, she laughs.
I think we’re all God’s children.
Don’t make any difference.
Its not my place to judge.
I am not God, I’m just one of His children.
So I love people.
I don’t think it’s right for us to judge.
I love the soul and the godlike in people.
And I always look for that, because we all have it.
And so I think people just know that I accept them.
She famously donated one million dollars toward COVID-19 research atVanderbilt University Medical Center, whichpartially helpedfund the Moderna vaccine.
So I just have a good, easy morning.
I love the wee hours when everything else is calm and everybody else is asleep.
But I sleep well when I sleep.
I mean, I love my sleep, I love going to sleep.
But I love it when I wake up.
I can’t wait to get started again.
I’m refreshed, I get just enough sleep for what I need.
That’s just how my body is.
I’m just an early riser.
And I work hard.
And I love what I do.
But for the most part, I just kind of, you know…
I’m not heavy into exercise, but I do my little praise-and-glory kind of stuff.
Whatever Parton is doing, it’s working, and she has no intention of changing course, either.
After all, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
“I have a go at always improve.
I don’t ever attempt to outdo anyone else or compete with anyone else.
I am my own competition, and I just take a stab at make and break my own records.
I just continually work, I love what I do.
I’m just going to work until I fall over.
And I’ll never retire.
I don’t even know what that word means.
I wouldn’t know the first thing about what to do if [I] retired.
So I’ll never run out of things to do.
I’ll run out of time someday, but hopefully, it won’t be anytime soon.”
