Ill continue to try and balance like a circus act. And I will just fight to always tell the truth. Even if its difficult. – Katy Perry
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 cant just be the girl who sang I Kissed a Girl. I have to leave a legacy. – Katy Perry
It was so draining. Going to parties to rub elbows with so-and-so and act like its no big deal, when really all I was doing was hoping Id have the success they had. – Katy Perry
Im a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. – Katy Perry
Im not defined by where I came from. 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 Im happy to stay out of their way. We agree to disagree. – Katy Perry
If you like my music, great, and if you dont, whatever. Im going to keep making it either way. – Katy Perry
Oh, I will always be honest with my music. The records are black boxes for me. Like if you want to know who I am, my views, my perspective, things I love, things I hate, my convictions, my anthems. Ive never let peoples opinions affect the way I write. – Katy Perry
I dont care what people say about my relationship I dont care what they say about my boobs. People are buying my songs I have a sold-out tour. Im getting incredible feedback from my music. – Katy Perry
Everyone related to me in my circle was from church: church friends, church school, church activities. All my friends werent allowed to watch MTV or go to PG-13 movies or listen to the radio, so I didnt really know anything different. Thats how I was raised. – Katy Perry
You have to spend a lot to make a lot. Its not like Im sitting on top of a pile of money. – Katy Perry
Hollywood is so fake and people need to realize that people are just people, and you, too, dont need to be born into something or have money or have whatever product someone is hawking on you. – Katy Perry
The press is just not your friend when it comes to a marriage. Thats why we didnt sell the pictures of our wedding, and we got offered millions of dollars for them, millions. – Katy Perry
Ive done a lot of bad things. Use your imagination. – Katy Perry
The media tried to destroy my parents and has taken things completely out of context, but theres not a whole lot you can do in terms of fighting back. You have to hope that it passes, which it always does. But they have to be careful. They didnt necessarily sign up for this. – Katy Perry
One thing I cant do, and I hope that there are other people out there that feel the same way, is climb a rope. Oh my gosh, its so hard to climb rope! Its all about grip and arms. – Katy Perry
I really like to look like a history book. I can look 1940s, I can look 1970s hippie-chic, or sometimes Ill pull that 80s Brooklyn hip-hop kid with the door-knocker earrings. – Katy Perry
My whole thing is to agree to disagree and to have respect because nothing can really be changed and you wouldnt want to ruin their happiness – even if that happiness is ignorance. – Katy Perry
Im kind of a good girl – and Im not. Im a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. Im a bad girl because I like to tease. I know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards. But I like to get people thinking. Thats what the stories in my music do. – Katy Perry
I still have a spiritual base and a spiritual foundation. And my conversation with God is very open-ended. I pray for humility, honestly, because its very easy to be caught up in this world. – Katy Perry
People always ask me, What is it that you regret? And I say, nothing, because I could not buy what Ive 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. – Katy Perry
