Katy Perry Covers 'Elle Canada' October 2013

Katy Perry shows off her gorgeous baby blues on the cover of Elle Canada‘s October 2013 issue.

Here’s what the 28-year-old Prism songstress had to share with the mag:

On where she is at in her life right now: “I’m 28, and I don’t know how young you are, but, as you must know, when you’re at the end of your 20s, it’s a very important growing time. It’s called the Saturn return, if you like astrology�”I know it’s important for me. I think that it’s a very important time, when you kind of let go of childish things and accept the wisdom that comes with age. That’s exactly where I am now.”

On taking breaks: “I make sure to give myself a break. I had to find that balance. But I learned this thing called Transcendental Meditation, which I do as much as I possibly can. It’s 20 minutes and you’re supposed to do it twice a day, but I only do it once every other day�”but anyway, it works People say you should work out 30 minutes a day�”none of us works out 30 minutes a day!”

On her good pal Rihanna: “I think that Rihanna always looks so fresh and I’m like, ‘How do you do that? We all know how much pot you smoke! And you don’t sleep because you’re on Instagram at four o’clock in the morning! I’ll get her secret for you.”
