Katy Perry has had a charmed life. Not only is the 27-year-old rich, beautiful and talented with a body to die for, her "Teenage Dream" album matched Michael Jackson's Hot 100 record for the most number one songs off a single album. Nevertheless, she's kinda sick of being famous.
Asked by Teen Vogue if she ever sees herself "getting tired of being famous," Katy responds, "I'm tired of being famous already! But I'm not tired of creating. Fame is, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do. It's quite a delicate creature -- it's a wild animal of sorts. It can love you, and then it can attack you. I still want to be as approachable and relatable as possible -- when I meet fans and they're crying, I'll say, 'Calm down, there's nothing to cry about.'"
"Disgusting," eh? Well, in other parts of the interview, Katy seems refreshingly down to earth. "I don't need to grind it into anyone's head that I'm popular. If you like my music, great, and if you don't, whatever. I'm going to keep making it either way," she says.
And her success comes with hard work, which she wants to reveal in her upcoming movie. "I think sometimes [people] look at me and wonder, How is it possible that she continues to have this kind of success? Why are the stars so aligned for her? But, while that is a factor, it's not the whole story. I also work my tail off!"

+22Tired of the fame? Really? And that's why you wear over the top outfits and are still producing music videos? Just quit if you don't like it, people WILL forget you, you aren't these guys:
These days, I listen to mostly oldies because most of mainstream music sucks. Katy Perry doesn't suck but she is medicore in talent. She will never come anywhere near this:

These are pictures of MJ. The one with him in his Thrilller red jacket is sexy.
I think she doesn't mind money and making music, but she doesn't want to be on a pedestal, just normal, but fame doesn't do that, she's talking about the stalking paparazzi and the way people pour all of their energy into one person,
At least I don't do that with any artist, I'm not even interested in every aspect or event in their personal lives, or even in music videos, I just want to hear their music. I'm not going to stalk them or cry at them, because why? I think that's all she's saying. It's actually a form of "class warfare" to say that just because she has money she shouldn't be entitled to be normal like the rest of us.
out there working hard to get their big break would kill to be where the
celebs on this list are now.
It makes me sick to hear about a star's success story then they
do something like off themselves because they are depressed
or what not. The world is your oyster dammit! You should be
enjoying it, Not crying in your money.
Another thing, Justin Bieber? I hope he's got his retirement plan
all mapped out. Because before the poor fella knows it, he will
be in the "has been" department.
Enjoy all the success and fame while they are still hot and
try not to take it all for granted. :)
i dont like her at all
ME OUT!
They knew the job was dangerous when they took it, Fred!
