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