Katy Perry credits single status for balancing busy career

Katy Perry doesn't think she'd be able to balance her busy career if she wasn't single.

The 32-year-old singer is certainly being kept on her toes with her schedule at the moment, as she's having to find time to shoot TV series American Idol, on which she is a judge, and her Witness: The Tour.

But speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Katy, who has been spotted out with ex Orlando Bloom recently, admitted that being in a relationship would be one commitment too far at the moment.

"I'm a bit younger in heart! I'm a bit more mature... single!" Katy told the outlet when asked about how she balances her schedule. "You know, when you're single, you got a lot of time to yourself and a lot of energy, and I'm just finding a delicate balance."

She also credited her fellow American Idol judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan for "pulling a lot of the weight!"
