Singer-actress Dolly Parton has said she would love to tackle a challenging film role.
Parton, 68, said that despite her successful career in country music, she wants a serious film role, reported Digital Spy.
Parton has previously starred in movies including '9 to 5', 'Rhinestone' and 'Miss Congeniality 2', but wants to lose her trademark denim, big hair and make-up and build a credible reputation as an actress.
"I would someday love to find a really great role in a movie. One where I didn't wear the nails, the high heels, the make-up. I would love to play a part that was worth tearing all that stuff away for," she said.
"Something really, really good where I could really show - or see - that I could be a good actress. Most of the roles I play now are pretty much a version of my real self, but I think I could do some really serious acting with a great director," she added.
However, the 'Jolene' singer admitted that she would not find it easy to change her image for an acting part, as it has played such a big part in her life.
"I would not be comfortable. But if the role was good enough, I'd be willing to do that. To play something so different that it would begin to make sense. I'd be able to get comfortable with it.
