“If you like my music, great, and if you don't, whatever. I'm going to keep making it either way.”
MusicAll Quotes by 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.”
Dreams“Everyone related to me in my circle was from church: church friends, church school, church activities. All my friends weren't allowed to watch MTV or go to PG-13 movies or listen to the radio, so I didn't really know anything different. That's how I was raised.”
Movies“If you like my music, great, and if you don't, whatever. I'm going to keep making it either way.”

Respect“I'm kind of a good girl - and I'm not. 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 know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards. But I like to get people thinking. That's what the stories in my music do.”
Good“I was a hop-around. I hung out with the rockabilly crew, the guys who were trying to be rappers, the funny kids.”

Time“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.”
Change“The press is just not your friend when it comes to a marriage. That's why we didn't sell the pictures of our wedding, and we got offered millions of dollars for them, millions.”
Marriage“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.”
Hope“I really like to look like a history book. I can look 1940s, I can look 1970s hippie-chic, or sometimes I'll pull that '80s Brooklyn hip-hop kid with the door-knocker earrings.”
History“I'm happy, I'm in a good place, I'm looking forward to my future.”
Future“Not to sound overly cheesy but I really appreciate the freedom we have in America - especially as a female.”
Freedom“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.”
Future“I'm either going to go completely mental, completely bankrupt, or have the best success of my life.”
