Kelly Clarkson

“I love dressing up and doing the red carpet every once in a while, but I am very much a jeans kinda girl, so it's all a little embarrassing for me.”

“I'm so happy now. I love that I'm in a relationship right now... I want a life... The past five years or so I've found my groove and my balance.”

“I do cardio. I run. I strength-train using my own body weight. I don't like free weights, because I build muscle easily.”

“I live on a ranch in Texas and do my own thing. And I don't care what anyone has to say about it. My joke is that the only people I'm trying to please are myself and my fans, because they're the ones buying my records. And I have the best, most loyal fan base ever.”

“God will never give you anything you can't handle, so don't stress.”

“Everybody always says that I'm the girl next door, which makes me think that y'all must have a lot of weird next-door neighbours.”

“I would not be a good mother. I mean, I love being an aunt to my niece and nephew. And I used to want to, like, adopt 10 kids - because I had friends who were adopted, and I thought that was the coolest thing, to be chosen. But again, my job is too selfish.”

“My experiences remind me that it's those black clouds that make the blue skies even more beautiful.”

“I am just like my mother. She raised me to love and take care of animals, especially the ones that need it the most and so I started Eddie's Rescue Ranch. We take in animals that need extra care and attention and the animals that get left behind.”

“I've always been about less government.”

“I just blow-dry my hair and put on mascara and lip gloss, and I'm ready to go. I really don't get long nails. They're so Edward Scissorhands.”

“I love Twitter! At first I made fun of it, because it is very narcissistic, and there's already so much narcissism flowing in this industry, I was like, 'Really, one more?' So I was against it at first. But I really love the idea of the direct connection - there's no middle man muddling it up.”

“I sing songs that I have lived or I write them because I have lived them. I think the believability factor is key.”

“It’s ignorant to think you know everything about a person. There’s many different sides to everybodys personality and there’s just different colours to a personality.”

“I'm from a small town so, like, everyone's married with children or about to have children. So it's a little hard when you go home and people are like - and that's why people think I'm gay - because they're like 'Why aren't you married?' And I'm like, 'it doesn't happen for everyone right off the bat.'”

“I think one thing you could probably say for all my albums is that they're all pretty eclectic pop. There's always a little bit of urban influence, some dance, a little bit of country, singer-songwriter, pop-rock. I like everything! On every album you can find that.”

“I love healthy stuff and junk an equal amount. Whatever I'm craving, I go for it. I'm never trying to lose weight - or gain it. I'm just being.”

“Pick the weeds and keep the flowers.”

“Like every other girl in the world, my most embarrassing moment had to do with a guy completely turning me down. His loss!”

“If I can wake up everyday before I die and know that I don't have to serve anyone food or drinks, I will be happy!”
