Emmylou Harris is just the biggest influence of mine musically, her and Dolly Parton.
I want to meet Denzel Washington when I go to the Oscars. Every man wants to see Halle Berry in person. And, you know, Dolly Parton... I wouldn't mind seeing Dolly Parton. She's from Tennessee, I'm from Tennessee.
I love Emmylou Harris's version of my song, 'Sweet Old World.' Her intonation is great.
Dolly is a legend. Jessica is so beautiful. I take it as a big compliment when people put me beside them. About being compared to Dolly Parton & Jessica Simpson on the Idol red carpet.
If I ever met Dolly Parton for sure, I would just not be able to say anything. I love her.
Dolly Parton... I love being around that woman! I worked really hard to keep up with her.
You might be a redneck if you're moved to tears every time you hear Dolly Parton singing I Will Always Love You.
I'm more into the old-school country myself, like Dolly Parton, and I guess it wouldn't be typical, but I really love Linda Ronstadt.
My dog Jake ran up to Dolly Parton, and he put his nose up her skirt. We were like, 'Oh my God, don't do that.' I didn't know Dolly, and she said, 'Watch out there little doggie, don't start something you can't finish.'
I love country, folk, and strong female voices, like Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton, PJ Harvey, and Kate Bush.
I think if I could ever write with someone, I'd love to write a song with Loretta Lynn or Dolly Parton.
My dream duet would be with Dolly Parton!
I have a penchant for Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton.
My mom took me to a Dolly Parton concert when I was 3.
Working with Dolly Parton was one of the coolest experiences of my life.
I listen to Emmylou Harris. She's my favorite. I don't know why, but I just feel more creative with her playing.
