'I love everybody, and I go right through the bullshit and I go right to the core of every person because we are all one, we are all the same.'
MOYNIHAN: Isn’t your Tennessee farm called Tara?
PARTON: No, I don’t know how that ever got started. They say that in all the magazines, but we don’t call it anything. It’s just a big old house with 23 rooms that we’re about to sell. We built it, but it’s just too big for us. Back when I had the kids, my brothers and sisters, it made more sense, but it’s just too much for us now. It’s got 65 acres and me and Carl are both at the age where we don’t want to be tied down to it, so we’re going to find a smaller place in Nashville.
PARTON: Yes. You couldn’t scare me as a kid because we lived hard and we worked the fields. We were strong little kids. I was always a tomboy. And I can’t even believe now that I’m so fragile, so to speak. I have little short hands so I like long nails, and I’m short so I like high heels. I never could get my hair to do what I wanted it to do, so I started wearing the wigs. It all came from a very serious place. I wanted to look a certain way.
PARTON: Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods. But we are idols and we’re all gods, so to speak, and I think that celebrities should acknowledge their responsibility, because we are in a position to help. That’s why it hurts me so bad to see what happened to people like Elvis. So many people need you so much. Just look at people like Jim Jones. See, you have to be responsible.
