I grew up not really having anything, so the idea that I can take care of my family and my friends now is a really cool bonus. – Katy Perry
My dad would give me $10, which is a lot of money when youre 9, to sing at church, on tables at restaurants, at family functions, just about anywhere. – 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 think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides. The whole angst thing is cool, but if thats all youve got, its just boring. Everything I write, whether its happy or sad, has a sense of humor to it. – Katy Perry
