Singer Katy Perry has obsessive compulsive disorder and finds herself inexplicably compelled to organise everything in alphabetical lists.
Referencing infamous OCD sufferer, movie mogul Howard Hughes, she said, "I am so OCD. I always want to put things in alphabetical order. I am also a little Howard Hughes about germs."
The pop star, who has been dating John Mayer since her divorce from Russell Brand, hopes she can go down in history as a musical legend like her personal icon, Elton John, reported Contactmusic.
"Elton John is a man that speaks his mind. Still, to this day, I love all his takes on life and opinions. He actually says what I feel a lot of people want to say, but we are just not that Elton John iconic level yet.
"He says the truth. I love his sense of humour and he says it how he sees it and his music, of course, is amazing. When you put out 30 records, you can say whatever the hell you want," she said.
