“I’m a low-tech girl in a high-tech world,” Dolly Parton, 77, told Drew Berrymore. “But I surround myself with all these people that are in that high-tech world, but I don’t want to talk to everybody that wants to talk to me. I don’t text because I don’t want to have to answer. If someone calls me, I’ll answer if I want to talk to them, or I’ll call them back when I can. Otherwise, I got too much to think about.”
The “Jolene” singer added that, while she could change her habits, she simply doesn’t want to. “I’m certainly not a stupid person; I could learn it if I wanted to, but I’d rather just have my fax machine, call in my creative stuff to my crew,” she said. “I’ve got the best crew in the world and I surround myself with great people … I just don’t have time to just sit with my face in a phone all day.”
Reba McEntire has previously noted Parton’s preference for faxing over texting. During a 2022 interview with Apple Music’s Southern Accents Radio, McEntire said, “You don’t call Dolly, you fax her. You fax your people and your people talk to her people. That’s the only way I know to get ahold of her.” She also told Andy Cohen the same thing. "Dolly does not text," McEntire said before confirming that Parton doesn't send emails either.
