Katy Perry chats about her upcoming film Katy Perry: Part Of Me while making an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today (May 22) in Los Angeles.

“I thought it was important to show everything in between. I think sometimes people think that we’re perfect and we know we’re not perfect, at all.” the 27-year-old singer (in Jean Paul Gaultier) told host Ellen about shooting all aspects of her life for the film, including her marriage to now ex Russell Brand.

“I think it’s important to start breaking down the idea that to achieve your dream you always have to be perfect or flawless or live in some kind of fantasy world. So that’s why I decided to put everything into the film,” Katy said. “In the most tasteful way. But mostly it’s about how I go there and the ride along the way which can be bumpy but mostly it was extremely fun.”
