 Katy Perry slams evangelical Christian upbringing

Katy Perry has slammed her evangelical Christian upbringing. The curvy pop star was raised by born-again Christian parents in California who refused to let her even say the word 'devil' as a child. "I did not have a childhood," Perry, 26, told Vanity Fair magazine. "I don't try to change them anymore, and I don't think they try to change me. "We agree to disagree. They are excited about my success. They are happy that things are going well for their three children and that they're not on drugs or in prison. "Growing up, seeing 'Planned Parenthood', it was considered like the abortion clinic. I was always scared I was going to get bombed when I was there. "I did not know it was more than that, that it was for women and their needs. I didn't have medical insurance, so I went there and I learned about birth control." And Perry says she always questioned the faith of parents, Keith and Mary. "I have always been the kid who's asked 'Why?' In my faith, you're just supposed to have faith. But I was always like 'why?'" she said.
The singer says her parents strict religious views have left her open to other views, citing husband Russell Brand's practice of Hinduism. "He meditates in the morning and the evening; I'm starting to do it more because it really centres me. But I just let him be him, and he lets me be me. "At this point, I am just kind of a drifter. I'm open to possibility. "My sponge is so big and wide and I'm soaking everything up and my mind has been radically expanded. "Just being around different cultures and people and their opinions and perspectives. Just looking into the sky."

Katy Perry 'Fame is fleeting'

Katy Perry has revealed that she works so hard because she knows that it could all be over tomorrow. The singer said that she refuses to 'take anything for granted' because she worked so hard to get where she is, and she knows that there is a legion of young girls just waiting to take her place. She told Vanity Fair, "There are 500 other girls right behind me. And I know that, because I was one of them. "I remember what it's like to be someone who's always trying to get there - sending out tons of emails, trying to connect with some person who could connect me with some other person. And I wouldn't be working at this pace now if I didn't truly know that fame is
fleeting." The 26-year-old often attracts press attention because of her marriage to , but insisted that all she cares about is being recognized for her music. "I don't care what people say about my relationship. I don't care what they say about my boobs," she said. "People are buying my songs, I have a sold-out tour. I'm getting incredible feedback from my music."
