Katy Perry

“I can't be the candy queen forever.”

“I think it's great to dress up and play on all the girly features.”

“I have multipersonality disorder - in a very good way, of course - when it comes to my fashion choices.”

“I don't follow trends. I'm just not into what everyone else is wearing. I have my own look, which I call 'Lolita Meets Old Hollywood Glam.'”

“Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are affected more by the idea of fame than the actual work ethic involved. A lot of them just want to be reality TV-type people who don't do anything.”

“I've always been ambitious since I was nine years old and that was never going to change.”

“I sacrifice in my love life and my social life, but those things will be there in three or four years. This is a really important time in my life. I can't just be the girl who sang 'I Kissed a Girl.' I have to leave a legacy.”

“I'm happy, I'm in a good place, I'm looking forward to my future.”

“I never took part in the rules and hatred that sometimes go along with religion. But if my parents are happy with what they believe, then I'm happy to stay out of their way. We agree to disagree.”

“Everyone related to me in my circle was from church: church friends, church school, church activities. All my friends weren't allowed to watch MTV or go to PG-13 movies or listen to the radio, so I didn't really know anything different. That's how I was raised.”

“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.”

“My personality is up and down, sassy and cheeky.”

“People always ask me, 'What is it that you regret?' And I say, 'nothing, because I could not buy what I've learned.' And I apply those things to my life I learn. And hopefully, hopefully it helps me to be a better human in the future and make better choices.”

“I pray for humility, honestly, because it's very easy to be caught up in this world.”

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

“You said move on, where do I go?”

“I just like having fun. And, you know, sometimes I just like to present myself in that fun energy.”

“I grew up in a life where the answer was always there, I guess. But now I'm out on my own and still looking for the answer. Nothing is solved for me.”

“I unfortunately still crave chicken McNuggets and bacon, which is the meat candy of the world.”

“Not to sound overly cheesy but I really appreciate the freedom we have in America - especially as a female.”
