“I studied acting and there's certainly an element of performance. I think that the songs are in many ways written to be performed. I think about what it's going to be like to sing them on stage rather than what it's going to be like to have someone at home listening to them on a CD. I guess in that way there's a connection between my acting experience and the songwriting and the way the songs are written.”
![“I think [music and acting], they are connected, all that…” quote by Dolly Parton](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/116/dolly-parton-366_acting_i-think-music-and-acting-they-are-connec_35206.jpg)
