Last night singer Katy Perry kicked off the latest North American leg of her tour in Atlanta, and USA Today caught up with her to chat about her wildly successful career.

Quotage:

Perry isn’t just fine-tuning this fanciful feast of pop hits, whimsical costumes, dancing gingerbread men, fireworks, confectionery sets and candy smell-o-vision. She’s revamping it.

“It has room to grow,” she says. “A typical tour is three months, but we’re going to the end of November. It’s nice to be able to expand and get out of the same same same. That’s the fun thing about success. I can take advantage of it. Now I can say, ‘I want a machine that simulates the whipped-cream boobs from the California Gurls video.’ I just want to keep things fresh, keep people on their toes and keep myself excited.”
