Katy Perry: "I Don't Need A Man To Have A Baby!"
The singer opens up about motherhood
Katy Perry plans to have a baby whether she has a man or not!
After divorcing Russell Brand in 2012, Katy split with her latest beau John Mayer earlier this year – however, she says being single isn’t going to stop her ultimate dream of being a mum.
"I don't need a dude,” Katy proclaimed. “I mean, Neil and David (her good friends, actors Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka), their twins are beautiful.
“It's 2014! We are living in the future; we don't need anything. I don't think I'll have to, but we'll see. I'm not anti-men. I love men. But there is an option if someone doesn't present himself."
Despite this, Katy says she’s won’t let motherhood get in the way of her career: "I want to be doing that in the right time. And that's not in the next two years, you know?
“Maybe it's in a five-year plan, but I need to really be able to focus 100 percent of my attention on it. I don't really want to take the child on tour. Not until, like, birth through five is over."
Elsewhere in the candid interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Katy admitted she was very awkward at school.
"I'm the class clown's assistant," she said. "That's what I was in high school. I mean, they called me 'over-the-shoulder boulder holder,' and I wasn't that cute. I looked like a square – a rectangle, actually – because I was going through my teenage awkward phase."
The latest issue of Rolling Stone features Katy’s third cover shoot and is on sale Stateside now.
