Mariah Carey will one day pare down her entourage to lead a simple life -following the advice of one of her superstar heroes.

The pop icon is constantly surrounded by aides who help with her day-to-day activities, but she once met a famous singer who warned her not to grow too accustomed to the easy life.

And she insists one day she'll heed the advice by retiring her team of assistants and taking care of herself.

She tells U.K. chatshow This Morning, "A very famous diva once told me,'Mariah, one day you're not going to want to have all these people around you.' She was taking her own bags off of the airport carousel and I really noticed that she was in control of her own life and doing things you don't need to have all these people around you (to do) and it's true".

The Hero hitmaker has refused to name the woman who passed on the advice - but she insists she has taken her wise words to heart, adding, "Who is she? I don't want to say her name because maybe she wouldn't be happy, but she's someone I've admired my whole life".

The star has also sais her New Year's resolution is to start a family with husband Nick Cannon - the superstar singer has hinted they will clear their hectic schedules in 2010 to have children.

The Hero hitmaker married rapper/actor Cannon in the Bahamas last year (08) after a whirlwind romance and she admits they've been making family plans.

But Carey insists they're holding off on having kids until at least the New Year (10) when work commitments and Christmas celebrations are out of the way - because she wants her children to have their parents' full attention.

She tells U.K. talk show This Morning, "We've definitely discussed it (having kids). The only thing is that at this particular moment, it's almost Christmas. He's doing his work and I'm promoting and doing all this stuff. Right now is not the moment. My parents were divorced and it's not like, 'Oh, woe is me!' A lot of people's parents are divorced but I would just like to have a nice, normal life for that moment."
