In a cute interview with the cute Katie Perry, Perry has a very cute response to a question from a Times reporter.

What would her 15-year-old-self, the one whose teenage dream it was to be a gospel star, think of her life now?

“I think the 15-year-old me would be excited and flabbergasted,” Ms. Perry said, “and also say, ‘Put on some clothes.’ ”

My 15-year old self would scream, "how did you turn into Mom? And what's that stuff on the bottom of your arm that wags when you wave?" There would be lots of retching noises about living in the suburbs and having kids.

But then I would tell my 15-year old self to buzz off, because she thinks that cut-off sweatshirts and day-glo green are cool.

Question of the Day: What would your 15-year old self say about your life?
