Katy Perry

“Sometimes if you want to achieve something great, there will be curveballs. You just have to dodge them every once in a while.”

“I don't have a Kate Moss body, but I'm very proud and happy with mine.”

“If you are not happy with something, you should change it. So I went to a lot of therapy, and finally, I am able to speak up for myself: You are going to hear me roar!”

“The first songs I wrote were catchy, but the subject matter was God.”

“I still want to make a pop record. I want to make a more sonically current pop record. I maybe want to make people move a little bit more.”

“I love those documentaries where everyone is fabulous and always perfect.”

“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.”

“I don't need the Prince Charming to have my own happy ending.”

“There are times I go out and meet people and flirt, but it's not really appropriate to have anything serious.”

“If people want a role model, they can have Miley Cyrus.”

“My parents were strict, but it was the world I lived in. I had no idea there was a world outside.”

“I came from a lot of intolerance and prejudice, which aren't necessarily healthy to evolve as a human.”

“I'm a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. I'm a bad girl because I like to tease.”

“I still want to be as approachable and relatable as possible - when I meet fans and they're crying, I'll say, 'Calm down, there's nothing to cry about.'”

“When I was younger, I used to be a part of the surfing-and-skateboarding community.”

“I was never really attached to a clique, and I wanted to be in all the different groups; I was never a one-group kind of person. I think that's still part of my personality today.”

“I'm every woman. It takes a village to make me who I am.”

“I was a hop-around. I hung out with the rockabilly crew, the guys who were trying to be rappers, the funny kids.”

“I love hearing my song on the radio the first time, but when it comes on again, I change the station. I already have so much of the spotlight on me. I don't need any more.”

“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.”
