I grew up listening to Queen. They were no stranger to throwing in the unexpected and something a little more dramatic. – Carrie Underwood
I’m extremely happy, but I don’t do love songs for the most part. It feels weird; that’s such a personal thing to me. I’d rather live that in my real life and play a different character outside of that. – Carrie Underwood
At first, it was hard to sit down and read the things that people were saying. A lot of people would’ve worked their way up to this position and would’ve gotten a thick skin over a few years’ time. For me, though, all this happened in a few months. – Carrie Underwood
I feel like I am a celebrity for no reason, like people are resentful I didn’t have to play bars for 10 years to get a record deal. – Carrie Underwood
Before bed, I read a book or flip on the radio – I’m not picky, I’ll just turn it on and see what comes up. I burn a yummy lavender- scented candle. – Carrie Underwood
In the romantic sense, I’m pretty useless with guys. If I see somebody who I’m attracted to, generally I just think, ‘Oh well, he’s not interested in me.’ The only time that I talk to guys is when they talk to me first. – Carrie Underwood
I respect country music because I feel like it’s more about the talent and the songwriting and I put on a big show and we have a lot of stuff, but I feel confident in myself enough as an artist and a singer that I can have all of those fun toys and know that we don’t need all the bells and whistles either. – Carrie Underwood
Once you get into a routine of eating healthy, it hurts twice as much when you fall off the wagon. – Carrie Underwood
The only other time I’ve been away from home was when I went to college. And that was just an hour away, so I could always go home if I needed to. – Carrie Underwood
My inner rock chick has always been there. I grew up listening to a lot of rock music through my sisters, who were teenagers while I was young, so they had control of the radio. – Carrie Underwood
I don’t consider myself sexy. I’m kind of a nervous person in general. I’m socially awkward. I’m not tall and sensuous. I usually wear sweats everywhere I go. Oh, and I burp a lot. – Carrie Underwood
Getting revenge on a guy is just not worth it to me. I mean, it definitely sucks at the time, but obviously you’re not supposed to be with that person. – Carrie Underwood
I’ve never really been anywhere, and now I get to go everywhere. I just have to make sure there’s enough memory on my computer to hold all my pictures. – Carrie Underwood
We’re all different. That’s what makes us special. We have to love each other and get on with each other. It’s not up to me to judge anybody. – Carrie Underwood
I love making music and all that, but at the end of the day I don’t think that’s what people are going to remember about a person. – Carrie Underwood
I got to meet some of the best people I’ve ever met, and we all grew as people and as entertainers. – Carrie Underwood
I’m a private person, and I don’t want people knowing what kind of underwear I like. It’s creepy! – Carrie Underwood
As a married person myself, I don’t know what it’s like to be told I can’t marry somebody I love and want to marry. I can’t imagine how that must feel. I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people that we want to love. – Carrie Underwood
I love being able to perform in front of people. I like potentially making a difference in somebody’s day or somebody’s life. – Carrie Underwood
I honestly in a lot of ways don’t want to sing about my real life, because that’s private. – Carrie Underwood
I think after coming off of ‘American Idol’… people kind of expect you to just be awesome all the time, and we’re still learning. I had a lot of stage experience, but it was in a 200-seat theater, you know – it wasn’t thousands of people in front of me. – Carrie Underwood
Everything’s completely different, and it’s been hard. Fortunately, I have a lot of wonderful people around me, and I think I’m handling things pretty well. – Carrie Underwood
It’s so easy to get caught up in this weird life. This isn’t normal and I’m not singing for people that live my life. I’m singing to the life I used to have. The life I want to have again. – Carrie Underwood
When I’m with my parents, that’s the place I can unplug. That’s the place I can shut down and not worry about work or what’s going on. I go home and hang out with them. I sleep more there than any place else ever. – Carrie Underwood
