My mom and I are like sisters. We kind of grew up together. She always treated me as an adult. I never had curfew. She's a workaholic, like I am. We're not super family-oriented people, you know?
Kelly ClarksonI've just never cared what people think. It's more if I'm happy and I'm confident and feeling good, that's always been my thing.
Kelly ClarksonI'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 ClarksonIf 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!
Kelly ClarksonI know a lot of artists say, `If you want your song on my record, I get 50 per cent' I'd like to kick them in the face.
Kelly ClarksonI've got a song on One Direction's album called 'Tell Me A Lie'. It's a really cute song - I love it. I loved that they liked it. They sound really great on it. I already have it - I'm so VIP with my copy on my computer! It does sound really good.
Kelly ClarksonI 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.
Kelly ClarksonReally, what I try to instill in my fans is to be healthy and happy. I have no desire to be super-skinny.
Kelly ClarksonYou need to be happy with who you are and, whoever that is, let your little light shine.
Kelly ClarksonI 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 ClarksonThe hardest thing about being in this business is just being able to be yourself. People act like there's this one set of rules to follow to be a pop star and I think, 'Well, you say I'm a pop star, so maybe that's not true.'
Kelly ClarksonI 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 ClarksonEverybody 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.
