Music icon, Dolly Parton is bent on staying youthful. She admitted this during her chat with media guru, Oprah Winfrey.
The 75-year-old singer and songwriter is ready to ‘look like a cartoon’ if that means defeating any form of aging, just weeks after revealing she is considering posing in a spread for Playboy magazine.
On AppleTV’s The Oprah Conversation, Dolly made known her intention to age gracefully:
“As you reach each milestone age, I want to know what impact, if any, does the number have on you?’ Winfrey asked. I don’t think about my life in terms of numbers,’ she said. ‘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 optimistically added that she will ‘be the best I can be at whatever age.’ And if she can’t maintain this, Parton knows her plastic surgeon is just one phone call away.
“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 said. ‘I’m gonna look like a cartoon. 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.”
According to Dolly, her youthful appearance isn’t what really counts.
“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.”
Parton revealed last month on another TV show that she is considering posing for a spread in famous adult magazine, Playboy.
