He's thought-provoking, articulate, a real advocate. I also definitely wanted to have a laugh. I have all that in him.”
— Katy Perry: The Interview BAZAAR (November 3, 2010).

I try and have a positive outlook.”
— Interview with Katy Perry for Part of Me 3D Movie Orange Magazine (August 30, 2012).
“Lately I have been seeing 341 which has me thinking now after giving so much... do I love myself, finally? Well, I get the opportunity to answer that question anew every day.”
— Katy Perry admits she's been 'beloved, tested and tried' amid Orlando Bloom split Hello Magazine (September 24, 2025).
“Whatever comes next, I’m letting it unfold naturally. No forcing, no controlling - just trusting the angels, the fans, and the music to guide me where I’m meant to go. Please know this: my love for you is unconditional, and I couldn’t do any of this without you. Excited to continue the celebration in the UK, Europe, and Asia and hey, 143 & 341. LOVE, Katy.”
