Quote

People tried to do a lot of stuff with me early in my career where they tried to shape me into one thing or another. They couldn't just take the chance and go with my vision - which was just my intuition, really.

If you're presenting yourself with confidence, you can pull off pretty much anything.

I wanted it to be like Amy Grant, but it didn't pan out that way. My label actually went bankrupt, and I was left without a home.

Image
I'll continue to try and balance like a circus act. And I will just fight to always tell the truth. Even if it's difficult.
Katy Perry
Image
People love the idea of a good girl gone bad, thinking that my parents were so strict and disowned me, but that actually wasn't the case. Even though they don't necessarily agree with some of the things I do, they love me as their daughter. That's always been their perspective.

I think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides. The whole angst thing is cool, but if that's all you've got, it's just boring. Everything I write, whether it's happy or sad, has a sense of humor to it.

I saw a spider, I didn't scream 'Cause I can belch the alphabet Just double dog dare me And I chose guitar over ballet And I tape these suckers down 'Cause they just get in my way The way you look at me Is kind of like a little sister You high five your goodbyes And it leaves me nothing but blisters So I don't want to be one of the boys.
Katy Perry
Image
I didn't come here to run for President. I really just came here to play rock and roll.
Katy Perry
Image
My singing is really important to me, but when children come along they'll be my main focus. I'd never put my career in front of my babies - it'd be a case of fitting jobs around them.
Katy Perry
Image
I am not a feminist, but I do believe in the strength of women.
Katy Perry
Image
You change your mind Like a girl changes clothes

I feel like my secret magic trick that separates me from a lot of my peers is the bravery to be vulnerable and truthful and honest.
Katy Perry
Image
You said move on, where do I go?
Katy Perry
Image
I think you can have it all, you just have to work really hard because great things don't come easily.
Katy Perry

If you like my music, great, and if you don't, whatever. I'm going to keep making it either way.
Katy Perry

I've done a lot of bad things. Use your imagination.
Katy Perry

I'm just singing about my own life. Singing about all the little stories in my life and the things I've been through.

People talk about bullying, but you can be your own bully in some ways. You can be the person who is standing in the way of your success, and that was the case for me.
