The star appears on Winfrey's Apple TV series, 'The Oprah Conversation'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}At 74, Dolly Parton isn't wasting her time worrying about aging.
The entertainment icon continues to prove she has no plans on slowing down anytime soon. She recently reduced late-night host Stephen Colbert to tears while singing on his show, and on Wednesday, CBS announced she'll take part in "A Holly Dolly Christmas" next month to sing some holiday songs and share her faith for the Christmas season with viewers.
She also sat down with Oprah Winfrey for the television personality's Apple TV show "The Oprah Conversation," where she chatted about turning 75 in a couple of months.

Parton then insisted she has no time to even reflect on getting older.

The performer also touched on what she assumes she'll look like 20-plus years from now. She expressed confidence in her plastic surgeons.
"I bet you I won't look much different when I'm 95, if I live that long, because I'm like the Gabor sisters," she says, adding that she assumes she'll "look like a cartoon."

"I'll have on the makeup. I'll look as young as my plastic surgeons will allow me and [with] all the makeup and lighting and all that. But I think more than anything, it's about what comes from inside you," Parton said, according to the outlet.
Parton also said keeping young is an "attitude" more than anything else.
