“This is the kind of stuff that really makes you very humble and very grateful for everything that’s happened. I had no idea that I would be in Guinness World Records this many times! I am flattered and honoured,” said Parton in an interview with the recordkeeper.  “I’ve had a lot of people help me get here. Thanks to all of you and all of them for helping me have all of this.”
