(March 10) - Kelly Clarkson's plate is too chocked full of hit singles and concert dates to be thinking about actual dates or marriage right now, and the 'My Life Would Suck Without You' singer says in a new interview that being a rock star "is too selfish" of an enterprise for her to be a good mom.

"Oh, my God, I have no desire. I would not be a good mother," Clarkson, 26, tells USA Today about having kids. "I used to want to, like, adopt 10 kids -- because I had friends who were adopted, and I thought that was the coolest thing, to be chosen. But again, my job is too selfish."

She has a little more leeway when it comes to getting hitched some day.

"I'm not against it," she says about marriage. "If I found a guy who could handle my job, that would be cool. But 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."

In the meantime, Clarkson is content with keeping her personal life simple and as free from the limelight as possible, including her choice to live in a very un-Hollywood setting.

"I live on a ranch in Texas and do my own thing," she says. "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."
