I'm dreaming up new dreams: Katy Perry on work-life balance

Ever since Katy Perry broke out in the music scene, her life has been a "whirlwind" and the pop star on Tuesday said she now wants to enjoy life after years of "making a living".

Perry, known for her chartbusters "Roar", "I Kissed a Girl", "Hot N Cold", said her future goals are to do live shows where she can spend more quality time with her fans.

"For me, after doing 11-12 years of back-to-back music, four records and four world tours, I definitely have to strike a work life balance. I have really dreamt some of my dreams. I'm dreaming up new dreams and enjoying living after making a living," Perry told reporters.

"I don't want to always be just going, stressing out and hit the marker. Then look back and go, 'Where's my life?'" she added.

Perry, who is engaged to Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom, said she wants to spend time with her family, explore world and be more "present" rather than be on the move.

"It's not a matter of slowing down but a matter of trying to consciously be more present and really soaking in because it has been such an incredible whirlwind from 2008 till now but some of it is 'I can't even believe it happened'."
