Katy Perry covers the September 2012 issue of Elle magazine – currently on newsstands!

Here are some highlights from the interview and check out the FULL spread below. 

On relationships and a possible second marriage one day: “I obviously have a lot to say right now… I’m a woman who likes to be courted – strongly. Never say never, I guess you’d say. I’ll let love take the lead on that.”

On her career: “I love what I do, and when I don’t love what I do, I’ll make a change…I can’t be the candy queen forever.”

On being a role model: “I have no regrets…I’m not going to be everything to everyone. I can’t tell a person when it’s time for them to have sex. Or if they should have a cigarette…But I try to live my life with a lot of integrity, and, hopefully, that sends a message.”
