Katy wants to push boundaries
Quote:
She'd like to experiment musically in the future.
"I think I have a lot of different personalities inside of me concerning music, and I love a lot of different things, and I like to try things, and I'm inspired by a lot of different things, and I feel like I don't ever want to be just one genre, you know? I want to maybe break the ideas of what boundaries pop stars should be in, you know? I want to do an acoustic record and do a tour that's all theaters and just have my acoustic guitar and my Telecaster and people would be like, 'What the ****?' I'm waiting to play that ace in a couple of years and it will be so exciting. Because I know I've had that up my sleeve for so long. I don't have to prove anything to anyone because I know who I am."
She's not completely obsessed with topping the charts.
"I'm not trying to ever duplicate what I did on Teenage Dream, because I could never. Prism is more about showing the variety I have as an artist, rather than always having a determined goal to go to Number One or whatever. I mean, it's always nice, but that's not always going to happen. And I don't want to have to conform to try and do that. Like, I don't want to have to play something I'm not to get that Number One or whatever. That's not music. That's math. And I don't want to be that."
She's touring so hard right now because she sees it as "taking advantage of an opportunity that is presenting itself."
"I just feel like people don't always come out to see live shows but people want to see my show. And it's sold out. People are responsive. It's being offered to me and I don't know if that will always be the case. It's exciting times to be able to sell out arenas in a time where people are blacking out arenas. You know what I'm saying? So be grateful for the opportunity now, because it may not always be that way. I may not always be here. So do it while you can."
She gets a lot of fashion cues from Tumblr.
"With Tumblr, it's almost like when you go to a city, you have to know where to go to find the good stuff? And so I just started following these kind of random, actually these transvestite girls that were really cool. And then I started following this clothing stuff. And that's where I get a lot of my style influence stuff, and that's a lot of what the new video is influenced by. "This Is How We Do" is like, straight from the pages of Tumblr. Although the kids, the Tumblr kids – like, the Tumblr rats – if they were to hear that actually coming out of my mouth, they would despise it."
She's not into fame.
"I never wanted to be famous. That's a byproduct of what I do. Fame is truly a byproduct of the dream that I had. People want to be recognized for their work, but nobody wants to be famous for nothing. Fame is, I think, disgusting. And it's really hard to separate your public life from your personal life. Useless fame is disgusting. I think if you've got a talent or something to offer, a creative thing to offer to the world, then I think that's beautiful. But that famous for nothing thing is kind of gross. It's a bummer. And, you know, I only ever just wanted to make music and be on stage and play, and offer up my perception of how I view the world, through the songs that I write. But then there's a lot of different things that come with it, and I call them trade-offs. I can't necessarily go downstairs and, like, touch the tree, but I can do a lot of other things."
She wants to still be doing this at Madonna's age.
"Yeah, for sure. In a different way, maybe. I mean, she does what she does, great. I'm probably going to do it differently. Like, I want to have an acoustic record by then. But I can only be 29 now."
She doesn't love the question "What would you do if your next album totally flopped?"
"I'm not gonna give any energy to those words! But listen, if it's a true expression of myself, then it will be necessary for me to put it out there. If it's exactly what I need to present as an artist and it doesn't do well by the numbers, at least I'll have some pride in the fact that I needed to do this as an expression and, if it didn't translate, then so be it. At least I'm staying true to myself and my music."

I have a feeling her next album will have impact and success simillar to 'Like A Prayer'. She's going to surprise everyone and evolve.
