Dolly Parton: My work is like therapy

Dolly Parton is old school when it comes to writing music. The country music superstar says she jots down lyrics on a yellow notepad.

“For the lyrics there are my yellow legal pads, and I keep a notepad at my bedside because I never remember things the next day as I think I will,” Dolly divulged.

“I write in longhand and like seeing my work without using my glasses. Words and titles come to me all the time; I have lists of them. And often I’ll just start pickin’ and singin,’ putting down a song, or more than one, almost every day. It’s fun, it’s work, it’s therapy. I just have lots of ideas.”

Dolly recently admitted she thinks she looks “cheap” –but loves it when her fans try and emulate her look. “We have a lot of people that dress up like me,” said the surgically-enhanced 9 to 5 hitmaker.

Dolly, 65, also revealed she’s keen to follow in the footsteps of reality TV star Heidi Montag by having ten cosmetic procedures done in one day.

“Oh, I would have probably done it when I was that age if I could have afforded it and thought I needed it,” she said.

“I’m open about surgery because people want to know. If you ask me about it, I’d rather tell you…. I’d rather you think I had plastic surgery than to think I was a liar.”
