If I hadn't been a woman, I'd be a drag queen for sure

• "If I hadn't been a woman, I'd be a drag queen for sure. I like all that flair and I'd be dressing up in them high heels and putting on the big hair. I'd be like Ru Paul."
• "The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."
• "I look just like the girls next door... if you happen to live next door to an amusement park!"
• "I'm no natural beauty. If I'm gonna have any looks at all, I'm gonna have to create them. Thanks to Botox and fillers, as well as the work that I've already had, my face pretty much maintains itself."
• "God tells us not to judge one another, no matter what anyone's sexual preferences are or if they're black, brown or purple. And if someone doesn't believe what I believe, tough shit."
• "If something is bagging, sagging or dragging, I'll tuck it, suck it or pluck it."
• "It costs a lot to look this cheap."

RIP, Miss Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean (19th January 1946 - 25th August 2026)
