I don't believe in the school of hard knocks, although I've had them. All that stuff about whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger is so not true. Do you know what makes you stronger? When people treat you and your art with dignity.

From Lana Del Rey

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.

From Lana Del Rey

If you are born an artist, you have no choice but to fight to stay an artist.

From Lana Del Rey

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.

From Lana Del Rey

Feeling like you're respected among the people who do the same thing you do is incredible and necessary.

From Lana Del Rey

When I put out 'Video Games' in May 2011, it was a 5:25-minute love song; I was surprised when a lot of people said they were listening to it. I was surprised when it went to the radio, without me even knowing how something like that even happens!

From Lana Del Rey

A lot of the time when I write about the person that I love, I feel like I'm writing about New York.

From Lana Del Rey

There's backlash about everything I do.

From Lana Del Rey

I'm a writer first and a singer second.

From Lana Del Rey

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.
