Katy Perry Quotations

I think that parents grow up with an idea of what they want their kids to be like - and then their kids grow up to be people of themselves, of their own.

I never live in the present. I'd do interviews and people will say, 'Isn't this great?' or 'Can you believe?' And I would react, like, 'No, I can't believe it because I'm not living in this moment.'

I want to sell out arenas and sell millions of records.

I just feel like I have this gift that I've been given. It's like, 'Someone unwrap it! Here it is!' That drive can't be held down.

I grew up in a life where the answer was always there, I guess. But now I'm out on my own and still looking for the answer. Nothing is solved for me.

I gave myself until I turned 25 to make it. And if it didn't happen, I thought I'd just try to find a nice husband.

I don't take anything for granted. There are 500 other girls right behind me. And I know that, because I was one of them.

I don't want to be above my audience; I want to be one with my audience.

When I was younger, I used to be a part of the surfing-and-skateboarding community.

When I decide to become a mother I will just be that. That will be really important to me.
