Katy Perry is so determined not to get pregnant, she constantly chews birth control pills.

The Hot ‘n Cold hitmaker – who recently split from boyfriend Travis McCoy of the Gym Class Heroes – would love to start a family one day, but is currently too busy focusing on her career to even contemplate having kids.

She tells the new issue of Paper magazine, “I love being in love, I love the idea of marriage and making babies – but not yet. Not until I’m 30. I basically chew my birth control tablets – I chew them like vitamin C, I’m like, ‘nomnomnomnom’.”

Perry, 24, is even too busy for love.

She adds, “It’s one of those things where I have no energy left to give to anybody. It doesn’t matter if I love them or not. I give it all away on tour and when I’m meeting people.

“This is a really important time in my life. During the next two or three years, if I do things right, I will have a real career, and if I don’t, well, I’ll just be that girl who kissed a girl.

“There are about five hundred other girls who are trying to and dying to be in my position – I can’t take anything for granted. It’s all about work – it has to be. I learned everything from reading the Madonna autobiography.”
