"I wanted to be that quirky girl who writes funny songs that still have meaning." ― Katy Perry Topic(s): Funny Tags: wanted More From Katy Perry "I got a fantastic person to work me out and get me into really good shape." "The media tried to destroy my parents and has taken things completely out of context, but there’s not a whole lot you can do in terms of fighting back. You have to hope that it passes, which it always does. But they have to be careful. They didn’t necessarily sign up for this." "Santa Barbara is my hood. I mean, it’s not much of a hood, but it is definitely like my hood. I claim Santa Barbara like I claim my family. I’m going to be married and buried there."

It’s really funny the way that some people don’t give kids enough credit for like really being driven, and really wanting to do things so badly."― Hilary Duff "I didn’t plan to be the rude middle-class comedian. You write a certain type of joke that you find funny, and mine happen to be often rude. Yes, it’s juvenile, but that’s me."― Jimmy Carr "I don’t hate humanity and I’m not interested in people who do. Although, it’s funny, actually, some of my favorite writers really do. Like Martin Amis. My dirty secret. ‘London Fields’ is one of my favorite books ever. And it’s indefensible! But he’s so funny… I forgive him everything."― Elizabeth Gilbert
