Katy Perry

I'll continue to try and balance like a circus act. And I will just fight to always tell the truth. Even if it's difficult.

There are times I go out and meet people and flirt, but it's not really appropriate to have anything serious.

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 can't just be the girl who sang 'I Kissed a Girl.' I have to leave a legacy.

I can't just be the girl who sang 'I Kissed a Girl.' I have to leave a legacy.

I always knew I wanted a great man of God, someone who was going to be an inspiration for people and also be a lovely husband and father.

I've done a lot of bad things. Use your imagination.

I got a fantastic person to work me out and get me into really good shape.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are affected more by the idea of fame than the actual work ethic involved. A lot of them just want to be reality TV-type people who don't do anything.

The media tried to destroy my parents and has taken things completely out of context, but there's 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 didn't necessarily sign up for this.

I'm happy, I'm in a good place, I'm looking forward to my future.

I was raised in a super-sheltered atmosphere where we didn't watch anything besides Trinity Broadcasting Network - which was called TBN - or the Fox News channel.
