Katy Perry: 'I'm Tired Of Being Famous'

Singer Katy Perry is looking edgy as she graces the cover of Teen Vogue's May 2012 issue - rocking her newly-signature blue bob and wearing a Zac Posen gown.

In the magazine on stands this week, Perry is asked about how she feels about her career and being famous, to which she 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. I'm not going to bite you or attack you or grant you three wishes. Let's just hang out and have a good time.' But really, I stopped focusing on what other people think a while ago. If you try to be everything to everyone, you'll only end up completely confused."

Wise words coming from the 27-year-old pop sensation.

For more, you can grab your copy of this issue of Teen Vogue this week in stores near you.

Attention deficit generation. She can't even wait for her 15 minutes of fame to be over.

I'm firmly planted in denial

She should've thought of that before signing with "Mr. Bad Record President" and for abandoning her gospel roots. Oh well. bored2

Maybe she's telling the truth.

Honestly if you really sit down and think about it, fame sounds like a bunch of bullshit anyway. I bet there's been a lot of people who have gotten into showbusiness, and had success then realized they didn't know what they were getting into.

It's just that it isn't something you hear people say alot because it's easily misinterpreted as someone who supposedly has everything, whining and being ungrateful or whatever.

But have your whole life out there constantly under a microscope and everyone feeling entitled to access it and judge you and see how long you'd want to continue something like that.

I think people need to always be taught about the ins, outs, good and bad about the business. Katy is one of many who saw things through rose colored glasses. Clearly fame's a bitch because they hounded her about her personal life. That unfortunately always comes with the course of people who decide to go into show business.

Again maybe it wasn't a good idea to forsake her original path in music (gospel) for anything else if she didn't know what she was getting into.

Entertainers who start to regret their own notoriety do what's needed to evade it. They become silent, and they don't grant interviews about their "despair" just to bring about more attention. So, again, she's lying, and this is a PR move. Perry wouldn't drop her fame and career if her life depended on it. And if the criticism she's receiving now stops, she'll be proclaiming how much she enjoys her status again.

^Cause shes fun, exuberant, has a positive female attitude, and seems to get the joke of being a pop star. I'll be the first to say that this may be the start of her starting to act like a "serious artist" like caca and vadge, but as of yet I still find her a breath of fresh air.
