It's clear Katy Perry doesn't take herself too seriously: This is,  after all, a woman who had whipped cream shooting out of her bra in the  music video for "California Gurls."
But Perry, who took home three Moonmen at the MTV Video Music Awards  on Sunday night, told reporters backstage that winning the video of the  year prize for "Firework" held somewhat of a deeper meaning.
"I felt like I was in the right place  tonight, especially with that  award," the pop star said. "Because we all know 'California  Girls' —  it's a great song, but it's not gonna change the world or  anything like  that. But 'Firework,' to me, it feels like it's a  movement. You can  always sing [about] clubs and bubs and bitches and ho's, but I  think it  takes a little bit more to sing songs like 'Firework.' "
Asked what was next for her after sweeping the telecast, Perry said  she would continue to focus her efforts on her ongoing concert tour.
"It's been really grueling, and I'm just trying to take  that one day  at a time and get through that and make sure I give the  best damn  performance every single time," she said. "But yeah, I don't want  to  feel like I've peaked just yet. I've got way too many outfits to go   through."
