Carrie Underwood In Elle Magazine

Carrie Underwood isn't one of those celebrities who complains about the lifestyle they've made for themselves. In a recent interview with Elle Magazine she says she's making the best of the situation she's in.  I love celebs who are grateful for what they have.

-On dealing with celebrity: "I knew what I was signing up for, and I'm not complaining at all. I've learned how to deal with it, and my life is great, I'm a happy person. What are you going to do? Give it all up? No!" 

-On the drama surrounding celebrities: "All celebrities have to be involved in drama – or they're not celebrities! There must be something wrong with 'em!"

-On her comment that a taken Tony Romo still calls her: "It was just something that was said in passing, and I would never mean to say anything to hurt anybody or to stir up anything, because I'm just not about drama. At all. I might be mad too if somebody said my boyfriend was calling some other girl. So I can definitely see where she would be coming from. But I haven't talked to him since, like, May."

-On why she tries to keep her love life out of the public eye: "If I say I am or I'm not, as soon as this magazine comes out, it might be the opposite of what I tell you now. In three months, it'll be 'Carrie said she's not dating anybody,' yet last night, I was out on the town with some guy. He's going to get mad at me. Everybody's going to think I'm a liar. It's just best not to go there." 

Keep reading, this is a long one!  After the jump Carrie even gets into the subject of her dream guy.

-On her fantasy of meeting someone who doesn't really know who she is: "If I meet somebody, and they don't know anything about me, that's like, 'Oh, you're going to actually get to know me a little bit before you go Google me?"

 

-On fashion: "I've been trying to dress myself a little better now just because I feel like people are disappointed when they meet me and they're like, "Oh, her hair's in a ponytail; she doesn't have any makeup on.' So I've been trying to, I guess, meet people's expectations a little bit more and actually look like a real person that has a real job."

 

-On life on the road: "I don't know how people do it. It's tiring. It's hard. Right now I do a lot because I have no reason not to. I don't have a husband or kids. If I go home, I'm home by myself. I have no reason not to be on the road, no reason not to just get out there and do everything right now, while I'm young enough to, while I can enjoy it. But I think when I get a little older, I definitely want to slow down, just because it's very stressful. It's hard on your body, hard on your mind, hard on your emotions."
