Katy Perry Breaks Silence on Criticism of Working With Dr. Luke – E! Online

“I am speaking from my own experience,” the performer, who shares daughter Daisy with Orlando Bloom, explained. “When I speak about ‘Woman’s World,’ I speak about feeling so empowered now as a mother, as a woman, giving birth creating life, creating another set of organs, a brain, a heart. I created a whole-a– heart and I did it. I’m still doing it. And I’m still a matriarch. And feeling really grounded in that, that’s where I’m speaking from.”

As for her decision to release new music, the former American Idol judge noted that it was  purely an artistic decision on her part.

“I don’t feel like I have to make music,” she said. “I don’t feel like I have to prove anything. I’m doing it now from a place of celebration and love.”
