Dolly Parton might have just shared her secret to aging in an interview with People.
She said, “people say, ‘Well, you’re going to be 80 years old.’ Well, so what? Look at all I’ve done in 80 years. I feel like I’m just getting started. I know that sounds stupid, but unless my health gives way.
“Which right now I seem to be doing fine…I think there’s a lot to be said about age. If you allow yourself to get old, you will. I say, ‘I ain’t got time to get old!’ I ain’t got time to dwell on that. That’s not what I’m thinking about.”
Dolly turns 80 on January 19th. She also has a new memoir out called “Star of the Show: My Life on Stage”. Hopefully she lives to be well over 100 years old, because she’s pretty damn special to humanity in my humble opinion.
