Katy Perry says a lot of people think she is a manufactured singer. “The biggest conception [of me] is that it’s someone else’s idea, or that I’m just a vessel,” the Daily Star quoted her as saying.The I Kissed A Girl star added: “Some people don’t think I’m the captain of my ship.” Perry, 25, released her first mainstream album One of the Boys in 2008.

The I Kissed A Girl star, 25, who is engaged to British comic Russell Brand, 34, said: “The biggest conception [of me] is that it’s someone else’s idea, or that I’m just a vessel."“Some people don’t think I’m the captain of my ship.”

Pop star Katy Perry is excited about releasing her next album because she can't wait to compete with Lady Gaga and Rihanna in the pop charts.

Perry is preparing to release a follow-up to her mainstream debut, One of the Boys, later this year and is reinventing her image and sound to keep up with her contemporaries, Contactmusic reported.

And the singer insists it's time for her to mature as an artist, admitting her pop persona can be "annoying". "(The new music) is still fun, but it's a bit darker. It's not as annoying. Sometimes I feel like a big strawberry with a face on it. If you do something over and over again it's like Chinese water torture. If it hits your head enough times, you want to die. You have to just evolve," Perry said.

On differentiating herself from the other pop princesses:
"You've got GaGa, who's like, from outer space; you've got Ke$ha, who's the beer-drinking, house-party girl; and then you've got Rihanna, who's transforming the urban world into her own outer space. But I feel like you're missing an Alanis Morissette, in 2010. I love how she was a voice for a lot of people who couldn't explain their feelings. But it's not like I'm not gonna compete. I love a good dose of healthy competition. It's not going to be the same that they're doing…"

On how she's really just Taylor Swift:
"Sometimes I really feel like I'm more of a Taylor Swift. She tells stories, and I think that's why she resonates with a lot of people. She hits the hidden chord in them [where they say], 'Oh my God, I've been through that too,' or 'You said it in a way I could never explain.'"

On how she had to go through the five stages of GaGa to reach OBSESSION:
"When I heard The Fame Monster, I was like, 'What the fuck is she talking about - teeth and he ate my heart and monster and dance in the dark and shit?' I thought she was such a shock jock. Then I saw her on the American Music Awards, and I was like, 'You're an animal of another kind, and we need you!' She's amazing. She's an entertainer, a visual arts. And her lyrics do mean things when you actually break them down.

A naughty moth?"The joker also commented on his choice of uber skinny jeans, "My philosophy is make 'em smaller until blood comes out of your ears."Nice... lucky Katy Perry...we think not!

"Hot 'N Cold" singer Katy Perry says she was once more cold than hot about Lady Gaga. In a new interview with Nylon Magazine, she says that at one point, she thought Gaga's latest work, which features her huge hit "Bad Romance," was just plain bad.

"When I heard 'The Fame Monster,' I was like, 'What the f**k is she talking about - teeth and he ate my heart and monster and dance in the dark and s**t?'" Perry said in the interview. "I thought she was such a shock jock."

But she, like most of America, quickly came around."Then i saw her on the American Music Awards, and i was like, 'You're an animal of another kind, and we need you!'" Perry said. "She's amazing. She's an entertainer, a visual artist. And her lyrics do mean things when you actually break them down."

"You've got Gaga, who's like, from outer space; you've got Ke$ha, who's the beer-drinking, house-party girl; and then you've got Rihanna, who's transforming the urban world into her own outer space," she said. "But I feel like you're missing an Alanis Morissette, 2010. I love how she was a voice for a lot of people who couldn't explain their feelings. But it's not like I'm not gonna compete. I love a good dose of healthy competition. It's not going to be the same thing that they're doing."

‘He’s a walking genius. Just standing next to him makes me smarter. He’s good for me… He’s the boss, he calls the shots. But I like that. I’ve been waiting for someone I couldn’t steamroll,’ contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.
