I would argue that the uncomfortable feelings she elicits are simply the by-product of watching a woman wanting and taking like a man.

Yeah, I like to be the maker of the art. And I like and want the money. But I don't really dig being famous.

Wearing a veneer of perfection never did me any good.

I don't think anything I do in life is planned. Sometimes I regret that and I feel like I try to take ahold of the wheel, but I'm also always super excited when things pop up spontaneously and when I'm a little bit out of my depth. I just find that that thrills me.

Lana Del Rey seems to be bothering everybody because she allegedly remade herself from a folk singing, girl-next-door type into an electro-urban kitty cat on the prowl (of course I like her), and they feel she is inauthentic.

The license said you had to stick around until I was dead, but if you're tired of looking at my face I guess I already am.

That's exactly what's exciting for me - the idea of infiltrating the male structure and affecting change from within.
