According to Perry, her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, is \"on a spiritual journey of his own,\" and is \"an anchor who holds me down, and he’s very real.\"

\"He’s not the number-one fan of Katy Perry, but he’s the number-one fan of Katheryn Hudson,\" Perry explained, referring to her birth name.

\"Orlando is like a sage. When we first met, he said we would pull the poison out of each other, and we really do. It’s exhausting, but we really hold each other accountable. I’ve never had a partner who was willing to go on an emotional and spiritual journey like Orlando,\" she gushed to the outlet. \"It’s challenging, because you’re facing all the things you don’t like about yourself. It’s like a never-ending cleanse.\"

Now, at age 35, the singer says she's setting new goals: She wants a big family and, she says, \"I want to be involved in environmental companies, I want to go back to school [to study psychology and philosophy] and I want to influence good people to run for office.\"

Vogue India is on stands Jan. 6.
