Country
singer
Dolly
Parton
wanted
to
have
a
family
but
could
not,
as
she
gave
priority
to
her
career.
The
65-year-old
singer,
who
has
been
married
to
Carl
Dean
since
1966,
said
that
it
was
worth
sacrificing
motherhood
for
her
personal
singing
career.
“People
always
ask
me
if
it's
worth
what
I've
sacrificed
and
it
absolutely
is.
I've
gone
through
a
lot.
You
give
up
a
lot
to
make
it
and
I
did
but
I
don't
have
any
regrets.
I
would
have
liked
to
have
had
children
but
it
wasn't
meant
to
be,"
The
Sun
quoted
the
singer
as
saying.
Dolly
also
gave
the
credit
of
her
determination
and
fearlessness
to
her
brothers.
“I
was
always
strong
with
them
around.
I
could
hold
my
own
and
I
understood
men,
I
was
never
afraid
of
them.
I
never
had
to
sell
myself
or
sleep
with
anyone
I
didn't
want
to
just
to
get
my
music
across.
I
always
felt
they
would
be
lucky
to
have
my
music
so
we
could
both
make
a
lot
of
money,"
she
said.
