Earlier this year, Katy Perry separated from her on-again-off-again boyfriend John Mayer.

During a recent interview with Chelsea Handler, for the July issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, the pop superstar finally opened up about the split and revealed there are no hard feelings.

“Sometimes you have to go through all this sh*t to get your grips on life. You have to go through the mud in order to find that peaceful place,” Perry told Handler.

Katy explained that she doesn’t harbor any resentment for John and still respects him and his music. “I know it sounds really hippie sh*t, but I’m living in the now and not fantasizing about the future or [being] torn up about the past. I’m super Eckhart Tolle. I have a lot of respect for [John] still, and I know it goes both ways,” she said. “There’s no bad blood, but I’m sure there will be inspired songs.”

Perry was previously married to Russell Brand, but their marriage ended in 2012, after only 14 months. Although, she has had to failed relationships in two years, Katy still remains hopeful that she will find the right guy for her; a guy that will love her for who she is. “I guess I happen to be attracted to high-frequency men,” she joked.

“I like when I can really be myself, wear less makeup, have off-color humor right off the bat,” she revealed. “When I can scare them with the truth and they’re not scared. I think when I’m myself is when I’m probably the most attractive to someone else.”
