Here's a little nugget in Time with our very own Dolly Parton -- the interview for which was conducted in Pigeon Forge, at Dollywood.

It's replete with her predictably adorable colloquialisms, writerly aspirations and a lot candidness about her own cartoonishness. The take home: Men in drag love to impersonate her (which is relatively easy to do), more memoirs and children's books are forthcoming and Dolly does not take herself too seriously.

To wit: "Children have always responded to me because I have that cartoon-character look. I'm over-exaggerated and my voice is small and my name is Dolly and I'm kind of like a Mother Goose character."
