Dolly Parton says her breasts are more famous than she is.

The 62-year-old country singer claims her huge DD chest has supported her career throughout the years.

Dolly - who has had her breasts cosmetically enhanced - said, "My breasts have served me well - I don't know if I'm supporting them or they're supporting me. But of course I've had them jacked up a bit. And they're part of the persona. It always takes a bit of pressure off me."

Dolly has not always been quite so happy with her sizeable assets.

In 2004, she considered having a breast reduction to relieve the pressure on her back.

The 'Jolene' singer said, "My boobs are killing me - and I don't know if I can stand the pain any longer. They have been a trademark for me - but I've paid one hell of a price."
