Following her instincts and standing up for herself is never easy, Clarkson says, but "[i]t's getting easier now because I've been doing it for a decade. But my whole twenties... People find it unbelievable... Even, like, my previous manager, he wanted me to be the biggest star in the world. That ain't a goal of mine. I don't care. Like, I don't want to work that hard! I don't want my life to revolve around this."I have a life separate [from my career], and I want that. I want to one day have kids and be able to take them to school. I just have bigger dreams than that. And I think a lot of people in this industry can't fathom turning down million-dollar deals, they can't fathom [that] you want a life. And I love my job, but I want to love my job. I don't want to hate my job or resent it. I've had to pick and choose. I don't think life is about sacrifice, I think life is about priorities, and my priorities are just very different from most people in this industry."So I've had to really work for that. And there's been a lot of ups and downs with that. But in the end it's all been worth it, and I think people have a really good grasp of who I am now. But I think you'll always have to work at that, right?"Right.

I'm glad Kelly realized that's not what was really important in her life. That her way she'll end up having a better and longer career in the end.

It just shows that she's got a good head on her shoulders, and she really knows what she wants in life. That might be the thing I admire most about her. She knows who she is and what she wants, and she doesn't let anyone tell her otherwise.
