“When they say, ‘Less is more,’ I say, ‘That’s BS. More is more.’”
Parton has always demanded equal treatment and respect, which is why she's long been a source of inspiration for women everywhere.
"I’ve certainly been harassed in my life. I’ve certainly had to put up with a lot of BS. I was always strong enough to walk away from it and not to have to fall under it," Parton told, when asked about the Times Up and #MeToo movements."I was lucky that I was in a good country town, where the men in the business have wives, and sisters, and cousins, and children.
When asked why she isn't an activist herself, she said: “People say, ‘Why don’t you get out and do more?’ I say, ‘I don’t have to preach. I write it. I sing it. I live it.' If I’m not a good example of a woman in power, I don’t know who is. I’m out there just promoting mankind, but I am most definitely going to get behind those gals.”
