Pop star Katy Perry feels that unlike fellow musician Rihanna she is too old to appear without clothes in her music videos.

If Cyrus' MTV VMA performance and 'Wrecking Ball' video are any indication, nudity plays a big role in getting eyeballs but Perry, 28, says she wants to keep the focus strictly on music.

The pop star, who once made a nude appearance in her 'California Gurls' music video, says she is getting less sure of pulling of such videos with age, reported the Huffington Post.

"Maybe I'm just getting a little bit older and as you get older you realize, 'Oh I don't know if I can pull that off anymore,'" Perry said in a recent interview with Capital FM.
 

"I mean, if I had Rihanna's body I would wear everything that Rihanna wears because she looks fabulous in all of it. But I think I want to keep the attention on my music. I really have a lot of confidence in my songs that are coming out and that's where I need most of the focus," Perry said.

Perry, who is currently dating singer John Mayer, will release her fourth studio album 'Prism' this month. Her single 'Roar' is already out with good response.
