It's no secret that legend Dolly Parton wears many hats, both literally and figuratively.
She's a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer.
An honorary Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
A philanthropist with too many generous deeds to list.
And now a Billboard chart-topper with her new album Rockstar.
She does it all. Well, almost all.
While appearing on The Drew Barrymore Show earlier this week, the country music icon revealed the one thing she doesn't do is text.
She told the host:
"I'm a low-tech girl in a high-tech world."
The "Jolene" singer explained:
"I don't want to talk to everybody that wants to talk to me."
"I don't text 'cause I don't want to have to answer."
Parton continued:
"If somebody calls me, I'll answer it if I want to talk to them or I'll call them back when I can."
"Otherwise, I've got too much to think about than to clutter my mind up with everything else."
She added:
"I'm certainly not a stupid person. I could learn it if I wanted to."
"I'd rather just have my fax machine and [they can] call in creative stuff to my crew."
Parton finished the topic by telling Barrymore:
"I just don't have time to sit with a phone in my face all day."

Parton's position on texting really resonated with fans in the comments.
