Harper’s Bazaar interview

Interview0 Comments

Perry gives an interview to Harper’s Bazaar Magazine about her good girl image.

I’m kind of a good girl and I’m not. I’m a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. I’m a bad girl because I like to tease. I know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards. But I like to get people thinking. That’s what the stories in my music do.

Seacrest interviews Perry during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her pre-show rituals.

You know, I wake up. I sometimes throw myself on a massage table, get massaged from the previous night where I had to do a two hour show and then I go and work out and I stretch and I kick. And then I do a warm up and then I go to rehearsal and then I basically get ready for the show. I mean when it’s show day, it is all dedicated to the show. There is nothing else that’s more important. So, I’m very focused.

I’m actually building stamina right now [for the tour.] It kicks off in May it goes from May 2014 until probably summer 2015 we are kicking it off in the UK and then we come to the U.S. all summer long. I’m in the middle of all the different plans and costumes and there are so many fun parts of the show. There’s about five or six sections and one of my favorite sections is the Cat-ture‘ section [like couture] you know me, queen of cats it’s so fun, visual, and vibrant.

I like movies, like Clueless, The Craft, Empire Records. All those movies kinds of inspired my style currently. But you know, it’s just kind of whatever I feel like when I wake up.

As far as the mummy thing, I based it on plastic surgery. Look at someone like Kim Kardashian or Ice-T’s wife, Coco. Those girls aren’t African-American. But it’s actually a representation of our culture wanting to be plastic

On Air interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Perry during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about The Prismatic World Tour world television premier.

The Prismatic World Tour is crazy and it’s not a joke. We did 127 shows. I’m very tired, obviously, but still standing, still kicking, and I feel about 56 years-old right now. Well everybody should tune in because I got to film this amazing show. And I’m very proud of it, and it’s an amazing show full of a lot of the songs people are familiar with, because I always know that it’s always very important when going to tour is to sing the songs that people have made memories to. I created like seven different worlds. There’s so many different costumes and things to look at and wonderful remixes.
