Dolly Parton didn't sleep with anyone to become a star.
The country music legend insisted while she met many men early in her career who encouraged her to sleep her way to the top, she rejected their advances and didn't let them take advantage.
She told the Mail on Sunday newspaper's Event magazine: "I did meet a lot sleazy guys, but I never slept with anyone to get where I wanted to go.
"I had grown up with brothers and uncles so I understood the nature of men, and if they got out of line I would make it light-hearted and turn it into a joke."
Dolly has been married to Carl Dean since 1966, and while she barely talks about him in public, she revealed he helps keep her grounded..
She added: "Carl sees me today the way he first saw me. I'm not a star to him, and it has never dawned on me that I'm a star - I'm just a working girl.
"I don't have maids or servants and my husband and I love waking up early and going to the 24-hour supermarket when there is nobody else there."

Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid are reportedly discussing adopting a baby together.
The couple, who are rumoured to be engaged, are eager to start a family together as the Snow Patrol pianist has bonded with the actress' nine-year-old daughter Coco, her child from her previous marriage to David Arquette.
The pair think it would be great to give a disadvantaged youngster a new life and give Coco a sister.
A source told Life & Style Weekly magazine: "Courteney proposed the idea of adopting a child to Johnny after their family vacation to Italy in February. And Johnny is all for it. He's in love with the idea of growing a family with her."
Courteney, 49, and Johnny, 37, sparked speculation they are engaged after the former 'Friends' star was spotted wearing a huge diamond ring on her engagement finger as she strolled through Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) earlier this month.
Pals are predicting the couple will tie the knot before her Courteney's pal Jennifer Aniston marries her fiancé Justin Theroux.
Another source said: "She can't wait to marry him. I know she doesn't want to wait very long because she's so, so happy. She will probably be married before Jen."

One Direction were protected with "military precision" during their recent show in Colombia.
The superstar boy band kicked off their 'Where We Are' world tour in South America on Friday (25.04.14) and it is said they were given a huge entourage of guards and police to ensure their safety while they performed in an area known for being a kidnapping hot spot.
An insider told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "No risks are being taken. The dangers in some of these countries are very real and that's why management have arranged the world's best security teams.
"There will be no wandering into the city for partying or sightseeing anywhere deemed dangerous - and Colombia is definitely dangerous."
The 'Story of My Life' group were escorted to and from El Campin stadium by police with a convoy of security vehicles and a team of more than 200 guards at the stadium.
However, the band - made up of Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik - have insisted they are "having a ball" being back on tour.
Naill told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "We're really close as a band. It was lovely to have time off, but now it's great to be back together and on the road. We're having a ball."
Meanwhile, he also shot down rumours the quintet could be heading for a split, insisting they'll stay together "as long as the fans" care about them.
He added: "The fact we have an album coming should put these rumours to bed. We're here for as long as the fans want us."

Kylie Minogue wants to get back into acting.
The 'I Should Be So Lucky' hitmaker originally got her break on the small screen in 'Neighbours' but failed to make her mark in Hollywood, and she would love to land some roles to boost her profile in the US.
She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "I get such a thrill out of doing that as it takes me back to where I started. It is a completely different challenge.
"And it is nice to not be Kylie for a while. I truly love acting. I guess I get to do some acting in song videos - even putting on a happy face when you don't feel that way."
While Kylie has attempted a big screen switch before - including main roles in box office flops like 'The Delinquents' and 'Street Fighter' - she doesn't feel she has given herself something to be "particularly proud of".
She said: "I have had roles here and there in various films, but nothing much I am particularly proud of.
"Acting is where I started when I was 11 years old, and as we all know 'Neighbours' is the show that I became a household name in. Then when I did 'Delinquents' that was such an exciting new world.
"I knew I was green and this was a learning ground but I did think that would be the road I would take - and it just transpired that it wasn't."

Katie Price will "never speak" to Peter Andre again.
The former glamour model claimed her ex-husband still hasn't told her why he wanted to get divorced - their split was finalised in 2009 - and insisted their relationship has become too fractured to even be friends.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday newspaper's Fabulous magazine, she said: "I never wanted a divorce from Peter. That was his decision, not mine.
"He's never, to this day, told me the reason why. We don't speak. Too much has gone on. I'll never speak to him again."
Katie - who divorced second husband Alex Reid in 2011 and has been married to Kieran Hayler since 2013 - admitted she "was devastated" when their relationship came to an end, and explained she doesn't cope well with being single.
She added: "I can be bad ... When Pete left me, I was devastated and I went out drinking and partying.
"It was my way of melting down - I felt like everyone hated me and none of it was my decision. My life fell apart.
"When I'm single, I'm bad. When I'm in a miserable relationship, I'm bad, but when I'm in a good relationship, I'm 'happy Kate.' "

Georgia May Foote has been axed from 'Coronation Street' two months after signing a new contract.
The soap star - who plays Katy Armstrong - only recently agreed to an extension on her deal but she was told by bosses they will be writing her out after four years on the show, and while she will be "sorry to say goodbye" she is looking to the future.
According to the Sunday Mirror newspaper, she said: "I have had an amazing four years on 'Coronation Street', I have had some fantastic storylines and worked with some wonderful actors.
"I am very excited about what the future holds. While I will be sorry to say goodbye to Weatherfield I am looking forward to the challenge of new roles."
The 23-year-old star joined the soap in 2010, and was handed a new £100,000-a-year contract in February - only to be axed months later.
However, show boss Stuart Blackburn has confirmed her character won't be "killed off", meaning she may be able to return in the future.
He said: "Katy will not be killed off and the door will be left open for a possible return. We wish Georgia every success with her future career."

Stephanie Waring is "shocked and upset" at Kym Marsh for dating her ex-boyfriend.
The 'Hollyoaks' star has admitted she was devastated when she heard that her friend was getting close to her former lover, insisting the 'Coronation Street' actress has broken "an unwritten rule".
Stephanie - whose texts to Kym were brushed off - told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "She's carried on with him knowing what it's done to me. It is killing me.
"I considered her a friend who I've known for years. I had no idea that she would ever do anything like this ... There is an unwritten rule that if you are friends with somebody you don't go near their ex partners."
The 36-year-old star has branded Kym "heartless" for her romance with Dan Hooper - which began he and Stephanie broke up - and insisted it is even worse because they have three-year-old daughter Lexi-Grace together.
She added: "He's not just some guy that I went out with for a year. This is a man I spent half a decade with and have a child with.
"Any woman who has had their heart broken and who is going through a break up can sympathise with this. He could have gone out with some 20-year-old hairdresser.
"He's a a free and single man who can do as he pleases. But Kym I actually considered a friend who I've known for years. It's left me in bits. She's heartless."

Ian Anderson plans to make "one or two" more albums before he stops recording.
The Jethro Tull frontman, whose new record 'Homo Erraticus' reached number 14 in the UK Album Charts, his highest charting solo record to date, still has plans to tour but might not want to record too many records in the future.
He said: "I'm heading off to various parts of the world on tour during the rest of this year and into 2015 again before I take a break to record something.
"There's maybe one or two more recordings in me before I decide I've done enough."
But as a performer, Ian, 66, claims he is lucky to still be able to tour and health is on his side, therefore he wants to make the most of it.
He explained: "I might find myself even going back to New Zealand and Australia. I can get on doing what I do for as long as I can, without fear of getting the sack or stopping on age related grounds," adding, "If you had my job, you wouldn't really think about retiring unless it's thrust upon you."
The singer's next record will be a "string quartet album" featuring music ideal for "funerals and weddings."
Ian told BANG Showbiz: "A lot of people do like those big moments in their lives to have a big piece of music mark the passage into life or death. I think it'd be quite nice to make a record that would consist of music which someone could say, 'We could play this at our daughter's wedding.' "
Ian is set to go out on tour from next week with dates across the UK, kicking off at the Brighton Dome on Monday April 28. He play tracks from his new album and a number of Jethro Tull classic. Tickets and information is available at Gigantic.com/artist/ian-anderson.

Leslie Mann feels "really lucky" to be a working mother.
The 'Other Woman' actress - who has children Iris, 11, and Maude, 15, with husband Judd Apatow - knows females in their 40s don't necessarily find it easy to get their careers back on track after taking breaks to raise their families.
Leslie, 42, said: "It's fun to be able to work like this at my age.
"I'm so lucky I was able to have a career when I was younger and I was able to have my kids and stay home with them.
"And now that I get to work again? I mean, I am really lucky. I have a lot of 'mom friends' who aren't in my industry and they talk about how tricky it is now their kids are older and they want to go back to work. Getting back into the workforce isn't as easy at 40 as it is at 20."
The 'This is 40' actress relies heavily on her group of close friends and doesn't know how she would cope without them.
She told Stylist magazine: "I don't know what I'd do without my girlfriends. I have the same best friends I've had since middle school and they're super, they have my back and I have theirs.
"I love spending time with my husband but I really need my girlfriends."

Iggy Azalea has met her boyfriend's family.
The 'Fancy' hitmaker has been dating LA Lakers star, Nick Young, since late last year and they have now taken their relationship to the next level.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, the Australian star said: "I have met his family, his family are really nice.
"I wish he could meet my family but they're so far away."
The 23-year-old rapper had just met Nick when she went off to support Beyoncé on the Australian leg of her 'Mrs Carter World Tour' and the distance between them made he realise she wanted their relationship to be "official".
She said: "He was kind of not my boyfriend at the time. We were talking then but we weren't official.
"We were kind of dating and talking and I'd just met him and then I'd gone off on this tour and it was like, 'Will I? Won't I?' I guess we kind of missed each other because I came back off the tour and that was that."
Iggy recently revealed that her first date with Nick was at discount store Target.
She admitted: "It's kind of funny actually, we went out for dinner after this. But at first I was like, "Target is my favourite place, I wanna go to Target!" So I made him take me!
"We went out to dinner with nice linen tablecloths and everything afterwards."
Iggy's album 'The New Classic' is out now.

Kimberley Walsh is "nervous" about giving birth.
The former Girls Aloud singer is expecting her first child with partner Justin Scott, and though she intends to stay as relaxed as possible during her labour, she is still wary of things going wrong.
She said: "Birth is the most amazing thing, but I'm nervous about complications - that's why I wouldn't have a home birth.
"I'm planning to try hypnobirthing classes, though. It's all state of mind - well, for the first few hours of labour. If I can relax at all during that time, it's worth a go."
Kimberley is trying to take care of herself during her pregnancy and is doing her best to eat well.
She told Britain's OK! magazine: "The bump is getting bigger and my stomach is getting harder. I don't have cravings anymore, but I'm enjoying my food. It's really hard to gauge what the right amount is, but I don't want to count calories. I just want to enjoy it and make sure my baby has everything it needs.
"I'm eating a healthy, balanced diet, which is the most important thing."

Cameron Diaz isn't looking for the perfect guy.
The 41-year-old actress - who recently claimed that "everyone will be cheated on" by a lover at some point in their life - insists she's not actively searching for a man to share her life with.
However, if the right guy comes along naturally then Cameron would still be open to pursuing a relationship with them.
Serial dater Cameron said: "I don't think you find them, I think they find you. My feeling about it is you should just be open to receiving."
The blonde beauty also revealed she believes that people can have soul mates, but doesn't think that humans have just one person they can connect with on such a deep and meaningful level.
Cameron - whose previous boyfriends include Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto, and baseball player Alex Rodriguez - is quoted by Us Weekly magazine as saying: "There are many soulmates. My soul has a lot of different facets and it needs a lot of different men. Friends, too. Friends can be soulmates!"
Cameron formed a close bond with her co-star Kate Upton on the set of 'The Other Woman' and she showed the Sports Illustrated model how to be a "proper adult" when she celebrated her 21st birthday last June.
She said: "We celebrated Kate's 21st birthday in the Hamptons. We showed her what it was like to be a proper adult!"
