Katy Perry on her marriage: "It gives me really good material for my songs"

Katy Perry has admitted that she doesn't regret her marriage and that it helps inspire her to write music.

Perry's divorce from former husband Russell Brand was initiated late last year and saw the split of the celebrity couple.

Speaking to Extra's Mario Lopez, Perry said that she feels her failed marriage isn't a regret - more like a lesson learned in life. She said:

"Everybody asks me if I regret something, they ask me if it's going to be that one moment [her marriage]. Actually it's really a lesson learned and it's super valuable, I could not buy this lesson. And I apply it to my life, I learn and a lot of the time, I get really good material for my songs."

As previously reported, Perry recently released the video for her new single 'Wide Awake', with the singer donning a Gothic fairy tale look.
