Perry doesn't need a man to be happy

London, June 30 (IANS) Singer Katy Perry says she doesn't need a man to be happy.

"I've learnt I'm in a very modern fairy tale. But I also know I don't need the Prince Charming to have a happy ending. I can make the happy ending myself," mirror.co.uk quoted Perry as saying.

The 27-year-old ended her two-year marriage with British comedian Russell Brand a few months back and is now dating guitarist Rob Ackroyd.

The singer said she would one day want to settle down and have children, but this is not the right time.

"I want to be a mother but now is not the right time. A baby can't have a baby, and I'm still a baby. But I'm not afraid of falling in love again, absolutely not. I'm excited for the future, whatever it brings.I still believe in love, most definitely," Perry said.
