Even as a child popstar Katy Perry was very rebellious and enjoyed going against her Christian pastor parents’ will.

The 25-year-old singer admits that her parents have always been very strict to her, Contactmusic reported.

“Some people are fascinated with the idea of a great storyline, good girl, Christian parents, goes bad. My song ‘I Kissed A Girl’ provided the perfect storyline, so it’s entertaining for people. My parents were really strict at first, because they didn’t want me to turn out like a prostitute” Perry said.

“There’s a button that all kids have with their parents. It’s like this red button that we push. And the paint has chipped off of my red button in a few places because of the constant pushing”, she added. The ‘California Gurls’ hitmaker, who got engaged to the comic actor Russel Brand last December, made her parents upset by agreeing to be a part of ‘The Smurfs’ film.

“My parents felt that the Smurfs’ reliance on sorcery and magic was sending the wrong messages to me as a child. But it seems I am destined to push my mother’s red button” Perry said who will be playing blue-skinned ‘Smurfette’ in the new animated movie which is based on the 80s cartoon series,” Perry said.
