Katy Perry Speaks on How She Feels About Being a Role Model

Katy Perry seems to have a healthy attitude when it comes to being a role model – although she doesn’t feel like she has to preach to people about how they should live or make their important decisions for them, she does believe she can be a good person to look up to by setting as good an example as she can, and she hopes that can influence people for the better along the way:

“I have no regrets…I’m not going to be everything to everyone. I can’t tell a person when it’s time for them to have sex. Or if they should have a cigarette…But I try to live my life with a lot of integrity, and, hopefully, that sends a message.”

Katy says she has no plans to stay singing forever, and as soon as she is unhappy with her current career, she will decide to make a change if she feels she needs to:

“I love what I do, and when I don’t love what I do, I’ll make a change…I can’t be the candy queen forever.”

Despite her divorce from Russell Brand recently, Katy is staying upbeat about love and marriage – she is rumored to be dating John Mayer and the two have been seen together on a few dates. She admits that she likes the men to do the chasing and says she is possibly open to marriage in the future again some day:

“I obviously have a lot to say right now… I’m a woman who likes to be courted – strongly. Never say never, I guess you’d say. I’ll let love take the lead on that.”
