I have lived through many major hurricanes during my lifetime: Camille, Frederic, and Ivan, to name just a very few. However, never have I seen destruction, panic, and fear on this massive scale.

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.

One of the reasons people like romances is that they're artificially shaped to give a pattern and meaning. It's not as messy as everyday life or as difficult or thorny.

Romantics consider common sense vulgar.

Romantic fiction is the only purely feminine art form. All other art forms were shaped and are dominated by men.

Years ago, I thought up the name Queen. It's just a name. But it's regal, obviously, and -sounds splendid.

Each year we look for a big name that is attractive to the public and pleasant for the girls.

I once dated a weather girl, we talked up a storm.

My parents were inspired by Bob Dylan and Dylan Thomas when naming me. They specifically saved this masculine name for their only girl.
