I believe in a lot of astrology. I believe in aliens… I look up into the stars and I imagine: ‘How self-important are we to think that we are the only life-form?’ – Katy Perry
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. – Katy Perry
I’m really critical of my posture, it makes a big difference. And I try to suck my belly in. Everyone should do that whether you’re on a red carpet or not. Even if you’re just going out to dinner with your boyfriend you should try and suck it in. – Katy Perry
It was so draining. Going to parties to rub elbows with so-and-so and act like it’s no big deal, when really all I was doing was hoping I’d have the success they had. – Katy Perry
There are times I go out and meet people and flirt, but it’s not really appropriate to have anything serious. – Katy Perry
I don’t believe in a heaven or a hell or an old man sitting on a throne. I believe in a higher power bigger than me because that keeps me accountable. – Katy Perry
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! – Katy Perry
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. – Katy Perry
I got this Jesus tattoo on my wrist when I was 18 because I know that it’s always going to be a part of me. When I’m playing, it’s staring right back at me, saying, ‘Remember where you came from.’ – Katy Perry
I think sometimes when children grow up, their parents grow up. Mine grew up with me. We coexist. I don’t try to change them anymore, and I don’t think they try to change me. – Katy Perry
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. – Katy Perry
One thing I can’t do, and I hope that there are other people out there that feel the same way, is climb a rope. Oh my gosh, it’s so hard to climb rope! It’s all about grip and arms. – Katy Perry
Ever since I was younger I wanted to be on stage, singing my songs in a glittering costume. And that happened and is still happening. I have to remember that this is what I wished for and be grateful because there are 500 other girls right behind me that are ready to snatch it up. – Katy Perry
When I first started out, I was really attracted to having my own sense of style because I started swing dancing, lindy hop, and jitterbug. – Katy Perry
I think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides. The whole angst thing is cool, but if that’s all you’ve got, it’s just boring. Everything I write, whether it’s happy or sad, has a sense of humor to it. – Katy Perry
I think we’re all blessed with gifts and I was lucky I just found out what mine was early on and have planted that seed and tried to water it every day. – Katy Perry
Even if you actually have the good intent to do something creative or special with your life, it’s hard. I mean, look at the number of people who actually get the opportunity. – Katy Perry
I’m okay if everything is honest and truthful and relatable. If it’s fabricated and ill-motived, it’s not good. – Katy Perry
Not to sound overly cheesy but I really appreciate the freedom we have in America – especially as a female. – Katy Perry
There are a lot of things that are personally uncomfortable to show, especially me without makeup and completely bloated or crying. But I’ve realized that it’s time for me to show my audience that you don’t have to be perfect to achieve your dreams. Because nobody relates to being perfect. – Katy Perry
I unfortunately still crave chicken McNuggets and bacon, which is the meat candy of the world. – Katy Perry
I’m competitive with myself, and that goes hand in hand with how I present myself. I’m not only trying to put one foot in front of the other, I’m trying to put my best foot forward. – Katy Perry
