Katy Perry is ''continually trying to be a better version'' of herself.

The 'I Kissed a Girl' singer didn't make any resolutions for the start of the New Year, as she is always re-evaluating her lifestyle.

She said: ''I haven't made any resolutions. In fact, my only resolution is not to make any resolutions. I don't like to set a time frame of new beginnings. I just take my life one day at a time and continually try to evolve and become a better version of myself.''

Katy is starting 2013 with a much better outlook than 2012 - when her split from husband Russell Brand had just happened - as she is now dating guitarist John Mayer, but she's being cautious not to rush into anything with the star.

She added to Closer magazine: ''I'm a woman who likes to be courted strongly. Never say never, I guess, I guess you'd say. I'll let love take the lead on that.''

John appears to be keen to show Katy how devoted to her he is, and for Christmas had designed a special guitar just for her which included a number of personalised intricate designs, including Katy's initials and the date they first met.
