Katy Perry has opened up on her parents and her "spiritual base and spiritual foundation".

The singer's parents are well known religious types and Perry was raised in a church environment.

Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Perry said that her parents aren't as strict as people think and that they will always "love her as their daughter". She said:

"People love the idea of a good girl gone bad, thinking that my parents were so strict and disowned me, but that actually wasn't the case. Even though they don't necessarily agree with some of the things I do, they love me as their daughter. That's always been their perspective."

Perry also spoke about her own spirituality, adding that she has an "open-ended" conversation with God. She said:

"I still have a spiritual base and a spiritual foundation. And my conversation with God is very open-ended. I pray for humility, honestly, because it's very easy to be caught up in this world."
