I really would love to do something [film role] that would be something special enough for me to be willing not to wear the high heels and the fingernails and all that. In the same way that Billy Bob Thornton did Sling Blade, I’d love to have a character where I could really, really be an actress and not just Dolly Parton, the personality, the boobs and the hair and all that. It would have to be something special, ’cause normally I’m not that comfortable, but if a great role, like a Norma Rae or something should come along, I would do it. At least once in my life, I’d like to do one really great movie where I could really act and not just be all of this phony stuff.

[observation, 2016] I think it would be wonderful to have a woman for president if she’s qualified to do the job. And so I don’t know who’s going to wind up being president but we’re going to have PMS in the White House – presidential mood swings. I think we’re in for a show.
