Zitat des Tages von Lana Del Rey:
There's backlash about everything I do.
I have kind of a funny relationship with movies. I don't have to see the whole movie to get an impression of it or to let it have an influence on me.
In New York I pretty much live in diners - I order French Fries, Diet Coke floats and lots of coffee.
Feeling like you're respected among the people who do the same thing you do is incredible and necessary.
My dancing is Hawaiian-inspired but I also get a little fresh when it comes to my faster songs.
A lot of the reason my look is the way it is, is because it's really easy to put on a sundress every night if I have to perform - or just wear jeans every day and a flannel or something.
I don't really have any gimmicks. I don't actually do anything that's strange. I don't even wear weird things.
I write my own songs. I made my own videos. I pick my producers. Nothing goes out without my permission. It's all authentic.
People are really talkative in New York. Someone always comes up to me and says 'Hi' during the day.
I used to like to set different film clips to classical music, not even my own songs, but make little movies.
When I was very young I was sort of floored by the fact that my mother and my father and everyone I knew was going to die one day, and myself too. I had a sort of a philosophical crisis. I couldn't believe that we were mortal.
I knew I wanted to do something creative. I didn't think I'd have the luxury of doing something like that, because I didn't know anyone who had pursued anything they really adored, but I had dreams for singing or writing.
I'm always just surprised when someone writes something about me.
I wanted a name I could shape the music towards. I was going to Miami quite a lot at the time, speaking a lot of Spanish with my friends from Cuba - 'Lana Del Rey' reminded us of the glamour of the seaside. It sounded gorgeous coming off the tip of the tongue.
I didn't live at school, I lived where I could and studied what I enjoyed studying. I took what I wanted from that education but was making my first record at the same time. I don't know anyone from school. I was just leading a different life. I was really interested in writing and other things.
I love to sing and I really love to write, but in terms of being onstage, I'm not that comfortable, which I think is sort of clear.
Fashion is inspired by youth and nostalgia and draws inspiration from the best of the past.
If you consider the definition of authenticity, it's saying something and actually doing it. I write my own songs. I made my own videos. I pick my producers. Nothing goes out without my permission. It's all authentic.
I was always singing but didn't plan on pursuing it seriously. When I got to New York City when I was 18, I started playing in clubs in Brooklyn - I have good friends and devoted fans on the underground scene, but we were playing for each other at that point - and that was it.
I believe nothing happens by mistake. You know, the universe has a divine plan. That sounds dramatic.
I don't know that much about who directs what movies, but I'm definitely inspired by the look of old movies; I find them to be really beautiful.
Seeing myself on the screen makes me cringe. I understand that I am that way - pouty.

I've been writing since I was really young, so I considered myself a writer for a really long time.
