Dolly Parton Says She “Ain’t Got Time To Be Old”

November 12, 2020 / Posted by:

Practically perfect Dolly Parton sat down for a virtual chat with Oprah for the Apple TV+ show, The Oprah Conversation. The interview will air tomorrow night, but People got a sneak peek (sorry, no nips). In the clip Oprah asks Dolly about turning 75 in January (hard working Capricorn). This is the big birthday where our girl might do Playboy again. And she told Oprah’s she’s pretty non-plussed about turning three-quarters of a century.

“As you reach each milestone age, I want to know what impact, if any, does the number have on you?” asks Winfrey, 66, in the clip.

“I don’t think about my life in terms of numbers. First of all, I ain’t never gonna be old because I ain’t got time to be old. I can’t stop long enough to grow old,” she responds as Winfrey laughs.

Parton then says she’s going to “be the best I can be at whatever age.”

Awww, I love this way of thinking! Even if Dolly’s “age ain’t nothin’ but a number” attitude is directly linked to all her plastic surgery:

“I bet you I won’t look much different when I’m 95, if I live that long, because I’m like the Gabor sisters,” she says, referring to the late Hungarian socialites.

“I’m gonna look like a cartoon,” she jokingly tells Winfrey. “I’ll have on the makeup. I’ll look as young as my plastic surgeons will allow me and [with] all the makeup and lighting and all that. But I think more than anything, it’s about what comes from inside you.”

Oh, come on, Dolly, it’s 2020. Modern technology can surely make your face look younger than Zsa Zsa’s:

But even if surgery fails Dolly and a wrinkle somehow manages to squeeze its way through to the surface, the country queen can still fall back on her sunshine outlook on life:

“It’s an attitude and you gotta shine from within. Sometimes, that can make you feel young and make you seem young to other people,” she adds.

Hmmm, the combo of nips, tucks, and “act young to seem young” seems to work for Dolly. So why doesn’t it work for Madonna? Maybe it’s a good versus evil thing? Shrug!
