Extended interview: Dolly Parton on her spirituality, fashion and more

[@thatfanboy6311]

“I’m confident in my own skin, no matter how much I’ve stretched it.” I FREAKIN LOVE HER

[@hasselett]

Her dozens of surgical procedures tell me that's categorically untrue.

Dolly is the epitome of diplomacy, grace and humility.

LOL...I wonder how many people died because they saw her "get the sht". How old is she? She might want to start praying.

[@pattyblevins2765]

She also gave a million dollars at the start of the Plandemic. The Scamdemic that made some people billions of dollars. Read the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to understand the situation we are in. It’s online in PDF.

She is a pro. watch an old interview with Horrible jealous Barbara Walters Dolly was so seamless. So she would acknowledge a True professional interviewer. .. BTW she is a Genius 🔥

I help single Mom's, because I was a single Mom of 6. The kids get so excited to get their books from Dolly. She's helped more kids, than she could ever have and what a blessing that is. It was great to see Nora covering something fun in this chaotic world. ❤

Dolly telling Nora she did a good job is the best way to end the intv as it's the best encapsulation of Dolly, she WANTS people to be at their best and do their best and she's happy to let them know about it.

[@brianbarnes7774]

can we all just acknowledge what a national treasure Dolly is? Unpretentious, honest to a fault and genuine. I love interviews with Dolly, because everyone who interviews her tries to trip her up, get her to answer questions previously asked in a different way. Dolly Parton is was and always will be the most honest and sincere person ever.

[@joycewirth3022]

This is a very humble and grateful human being. Focused on those who contributed to her rise, first. From her mother, father, husband, and family, to those in the musical business. She shifts our attention to those, whom she loves dearly. Her generosity in helping thousands of others goes hidden because of who she is. A gentle, gracious soul who will remain at the top eternally. God bless you always. 💕

[@shesslucky]

The ending, "you're so sweet and you did a good job" who'd think to say that to a journalist. I love this woman, it's a joy to see her well and happy. May she live long!

[@jm7804]

Dolly is such a lovely person. It always puts me in a better mood listening to her speak. I love her attitude and how she tackles life.

When she sang He's Alive , it gaves me shivers down my spine! it was incredible!

I totally agree with you. I have returned to her CMA Live performance sooo many times and still get chills, tears and warmth not only from Dolly but from the message this song gives. ❤️🙏🏼

I have such respect for Dolly. She is open, honest, humble and down to earth.

[@maryannanderson2213]

I wonder how many of the people Norah interviews end that interview by saying, "You're sweet and you did a good job." Stick around for a LONG time, Dolly, because the world is nowhere near ready to give you up. I have been a fan since before I knew Dolly's name. All I knew was she was the blonde lady who sang "Dumb Blonde". That was in 1966 and if I'm counting correctly that means I have been a fan for almost six decades and I'm not tired of her yet. I am very happy to see that she is still going strong.

[@Wally943]
