Dolly Parton Says She Could Never Quit Music

In an interview to promote her album, Dolly Parton & Family: Smoky Mountain DNA – Family, Faith & Fables, Dolly discussed her future music plans and how long she plans to stay active in the entertainment industry.

“Oh, my Lord, I can’t retire. I always say I’ve dreamed myself into a corner. I’ve got to keep all those dreams alive. Every dream spins off into something else.”

The 78-year-old singer also cleared up the rumours that she “retired” from touring.

“It’s misinformation when I said I was not touring any more. I still do shows – I just don’t go on the full-blown tours where I go overseas for weeks. I’m older, my husband’s older, and I want to be with him more. So, no. I couldn’t retire if I wanted to. And I don’t want to.”
