11 Questions With Dolly Parton: No. 4

Have you ever said anything on the record that you've regretted?

I remember years ago when I was going through a dark time in my life, I made a comment when I was sick and kinda out of commission. I said something like I knew what it was like when people get on drugs and alcohol, how people can commit suicide. So people picked that out and wrote, "Dolly's suicidal!" "Dolly almost commits suicide!" You need to watch what you say, because they're gonna take it out of context and use it against you. And right when you have something going, they'll drag that old s--- out and make another story, even if it was something you said 30 years ago!
