Katy Perry: 'I'm too busy for kids'

Katy Perry has reportedly admitted that she doesn't intend to have children in the near future as she is concentrating on her career.

The 25-year-old explained that she wants to start a family when she can "devote" herself fully to being a mother.

She told OK: "I see myself as a professional right now and hopefully when I decide it's time for children, I'll be able to devote myself to that."

The singer also revealed that her relationship with fiancé Russell Brand works so well because he is a good listener and they both find the same things funny.

She said: "His eye for detail was so impeccable, he made me realise he was listening and understanding me completely and wanted to jump into my world.

"I have always been open to someone who would really challenge me emotionally, spiritually and mentally and he really covers those bases.

"And we both have a sense of humour - we play practical jokes on each other. We make each other laugh and that's what keeps us connected in one way."
