I’m proud of everything I achieved with ‘Idol,’ and away from ‘Idol’ also. It’s just such a different show now to what it was when I was on it. I didn’t even know it was a TV show until the third audition. – Kelly Clarkson
When people talk about my weight, I’m like, ‘You seem to have a problem with it; I don’t.’ – Kelly Clarkson
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. – Kelly Clarkson
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. – Kelly Clarkson
I put on the Hank Williams and the Patsy Cline and the Rosemary Clooney on vinyl – I’m not trying to be some cool indie-rock person, I just love the way it sounds – and throw on a T-shirt and jeans. In Texas, we practically come out of the womb in jeans. – Kelly Clarkson
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. – Kelly Clarkson
I try not to date musicians. It’s all I’ve dated. Every guy I’ve dated is a musician. Obviously, it’s not working. – Kelly Clarkson
I just had my 30th birthday and we went turkey shooting. It’s what I wanted to do, so we went. – Kelly Clarkson
I love my body. I’m very much OK with it. I don’t think artists are ever the ones who have the problem with their weight, it is other people. – Kelly Clarkson
People keep asking me if I am having more fun, being blonde, but I always have fun! Whether I’m blonde, redhead, or brunette! I always have fun. – Kelly Clarkson
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. – Kelly Clarkson
My happy weight changes. Sometimes I eat more; sometimes I play more. I’ll be different sizes all the time. – Kelly Clarkson
When I went to Los Angeles right after high school, I got some acting jobs, and I never, ever wanted to be an actress! Public speaking and acting make me want to vomit. But I have never been nervous singing. When it comes to public speaking, I stumble on my words, sweat, and pull at my clothes. – Kelly Clarkson
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. – Kelly Clarkson
I’m the perfect amount of guarded. I don’t reveal too much, and I never reveal who the songs are about. They are real life. People get that. I date a lot of musicians and they do the same thing. People that work with me – who I write about too – they get it. It’s my creative outlet, my therapy. – Kelly Clarkson
I’m a hygiene freak. I’m like obsessive-compulsive when it comes to washing your hands. – Kelly Clarkson
I have a big fear of change, or negative change, anyway. I’m basically the same person I was when I won ‘Idol,’ or when I was 10. – Kelly Clarkson
I’ve dated a couple of guys who were awesome, and the celebrity part of my life and the traveling part are hard to get around. You never get to see each other, especially if you’re both musicians. – Kelly Clarkson
The thing I love most about going on vacation is that I get to leave behind any kind of schedule. My entire life is scheduled from morning to night, and when I’m on vacation, there is no schedule. – Kelly Clarkson
