Kristen Wiig talks to Katy Perry (Interview Magazine)
Quote:
WIIG: People sometimes get a little extra criticism when they try something that they don’t normally do, but I think that’s just a natural thing for artists. It’s like, “Okay, I did that, and now I want to try this.” I mean, people get so surprised when I say I want to do a dramatic film. They can’t wrap their heads around it.
PERRY: Well, if you keep on doing the same role, you’ll be typecast. I just feel like I’m going to be criticized regardless of what I do next, so I might as well do something that I feel really passionate about. I don’t even know if I could ever re-create that last record—just like you probably don’t know if you could ever re-create Bridesmaids.
WIIG: Exactly.
PERRY: So maybe you need to try something different—at least for now. That’s what I’m hoping I can do. People tried to do a lot of stuff with me early in my career where they tried to shape me into one thing or another—you know, when I was on other labels that eventually dropped me. They couldn’t just take the chance and go with my vision—which was just my intuition, really. But then finally Capitol said, “We’re gonna just go with what you know. You seem to have a good group of girls around you, and people are responding to you.” So they took a chance with me without looking at all the studies and the research, and it paid off. I think sometimes that research is ********. A lot of the time people don’t even know what they want until they see something new. I mean, when I first came to L.A., I used to audition, and I had such fear because nobody really believed in my music. I couldn’t get anyone on my bandwagon. Now I have a confidence because my research shows that I should just really trust my instincts.
WIIG: That’s all you can do.
PERRY: Well, I think that really resonates with people. If you’re coming from an honest place and you’re doing things for the right motives, then people can see that. Kids are so smart these days. They sense when there’s a phony bologna out there. Especially in music, when they see something that’s being marketed to them, they’ll call it out. They’ll be like, “This chick is ********.”
WIIG: I grew up listening to a lot of music that actually sort of reminds me of your music, like the Go-Go’s, Madonna, the Bangles, Toni Basil—really happy, fun music.
PERRY: Yeah, well, my music is about to get real ****ing dark, so …
WIIG: [laughs] I want you to do a Smiths cover record and make a video where it’s just you looking up out the window and it’s raining. You’ll have a black veil on.
PERRY: I’ll be shoe-gazing. You’ll never see my face because my hair is in my face.

I'm hoping for pretty, heartbroken ballads, and Luke penned angsty post break-up anthems.
When pop stars go dark, the results always turn for the better.

Just finished reading the entire interview, she is so fascinating. 
It's so weird, remember Sammi? Just last summer everyone in the TD thread was hoping she'd go darker and edgier... and here it is coming. We predicted a LOT of things that have come true. Either she is creeping on ATRL or we're just really in-tune with her lol.

Did you catch the Russel shade?

WIIG: I time-traveled. Lorne Michaels has a time machine.
PERRY: I’d like to use that time machine and go back to a specific date, please. [laughs]

People are going to exaggerate her words about going "dark" until the new album. It's going to work out fine.
