Dolly Parton's most iconic 'Dolly-isms' on beauty, wigs, Botox and living life on her own terms

Dolly Parton died peacefully in Nashville after a brief battle with cancer on Tuesday.

The country music icon was 80 and spent decades in the limelight.

Along with her beloved music and philanthropic works, Parton will be remembered by fans for the many "Dolly-isms" she's shared over the years.

In 2022, the "9 to 5" singer herself took to Instagram to share some of her favorite quotes she's given.

In the video, she also gave a "translation" of what some of her famous one-liners meant.

For example, she once said, "It’s hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world," which she explained meant, "Why blend in when standing out is so much more fun!" Another famous line she included was, "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap," which she translated to, "All that matters is being yourself and feeling great about it." Below is a look at the most famous "Dolly-isms" over the years.

DOLLY PARTON SLEPT AS LITTLE AS 3 HOURS, DID HER OWN HAIR AND MAKEUP ON SET, CO-STAR DANICA MCKELLAR SAYS Parton has said this line several times, describing her over-the-top and glamorous appearance.

In 2017, she repeated the line to Vogue , describing her approach to make-up.

This is another popular line Parton used throughout her career.

During the same Vogue interview, the "Jolene" singer repeated the line when discussing her wig collection.

During the same Vogue interview in 2017, Parton gave this quote, explaining that she turned to using wigs to create her signature hairstyle.

The exact time and place Parton gave this famous line about her cosmetics procedures is not recorded, but the line has been famously quoted for years.

During Parton's 2009 University of Tennessee commencement speech, the legend gave this quote to the graduating class.

This is one of Parton's most famous mantras that she repeated over the years.
