"Even Katy Perry doesn&amp;apos;t wake up looking like Katy Perry. In an interview with Women&amp;apos;s Wear Daily this week to promote her new fragrance, debuting in August, the &amp;quot;Firework&amp;quot; singer, 28, admitted that it takes her around 90 minutes to complete her normal beauty routine.\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m a product whore. I have a regimen that spans an hour and a half, and nothing goes out of order,&amp;quot; she said, admitting that it could be difficult to do when &amp;quot;sleeping over at a new boyfriend&amp;apos;s house.&amp;quot; (Fortunately for her, she and on-again love John Mayer are past that point.)\r\n\r\nPerry isn&amp;apos;t hiding behind her makeup, though. &amp;quot;I spoke one time at a songwriting thing, and the kids were asking me questions about being an artist,&amp;quot; she recalled. &amp;quot;[I told them] all the costumes and the glitter and the glitz and glam is great, but if you don&amp;apos;t have the talent, you just look like a freak.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;This is how I view my career: not as a ticking bomb,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;A lot of people do things out of fear. A lot of people make choices [based on thinking] they won&amp;apos;t have a career in five years. I know where I am; I know what I do is worth something and does not have an expiration date on it. I&amp;apos;m not making choices -- in any capacity of my life, with any kind of endorsement, with any kind of product -- out of fear.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIn fact, Perry told WWD, she feels like she&amp;apos;s just getting started. Explaining how the name of her new fragrance, Killer Queen, came to be, she noted: &amp;quot;Killer Queen has been in my vocabulary since I was 15, because of the song &amp;apos;Killer Queen&amp;apos; by Queen. Freddie Mercury painted the lyrics of this woman who I wanted to be. She seemed very powerful, and she captivated a room when she walked in.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;I named my company Killer Queen after those lyrics,&amp;quot; she continued. &amp;quot;I feel like, after all this time, it was appropriate to use that name in association with something I did. I feel like I&amp;apos;m falling, finally, into that woman Freddie painted.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
