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:

INGRATE! STOP WHINING, JOHNNY and BE GRATEFUL! THE DAY
PHOTOGRAPHERS STOP FOLLOWING YOU, YOU'D BETTER PACK UP TO
RETIRE IN FORGOTTEN-LAND!!!
Quote by ROBERT PATTINSON SAYS IT BEST, "You're not really allowed to complain
about any of this. You're just supposed to be grateful."
(Pattinson has complained about not being able to complain about being famous: "You're
not really allowed to complain about any of this. You're just supposed to be grateful."
That's right, R-Patz!)
THANK YOU ROBERT! YOU'RE A WISE GENTLEMAN. I LOVE and RESPECT YOUR
KIND ATTITUDE-WISDOM-HUMILITY-WELL MANNERS! I WISH YOU ALL THE
BEST WITH YOUR CAREER and GREAT HAPPINESS WITH YOUR LIFE.
They chose their own lifestyle, and they can start hiding on some distant island with their sh!t-ton of money any time they want. Good riddance. We have plenty more celebrities. You reap what you sew. So don't go complaining that you're famous.
Seriously, if you don't want to be famous, then just drop off the radar.. Change careers, or retire with your millions.
When you sign a record deal, or agree to have an acting career or whatever, you know what your getting yourself into and you have no right to complain.
I had a belieber telling me the other day what a hard life JB has, it's like for god's sakes man! 'He never has time to himself or to spend time with his family' yeah he CHOSE to play shows he CHOSE to sign the deal for a record label, therefore, you know he knew what he had to do. It's what happens when you become famous.
People all over the world who aren't famous have serious issues they deal with every day and they don't complain so celebs...QUIT IT!
What the hell is with the "he/she later apoligized"??
So stars aren't allowed to say they don't like the fame?
It's not their fault if they're talented and are recognized for it (although I don't believe a couple of people on this list are talented)
WTF
