    This one really isn't that sassy. It's actually really sweet.
     

    It's from the ICONIC trailer park interview video.

    I have high expectations for this album considering she almost stopped making music. She pretty much implied that the songs on this album could have been her last so there's no doubt she put all of her heart into them and I'm so excited to hear these tracks.

    I hope he's married because that would work perfectly with my Damn You theory. 
     
    Also it looks like he lived in New Jersey at one point... 
     
    I should probably stop, I'm starting to feel like a stalker now, lol.

    She didn't do press for two and a half years, she says, exhausted by what she saw as persistent misrepresentations of herself and her story. "Read everything and assume the opposite, then you'll really know who I am." She gives a thin smile. "It really doesn't matter what I say."
    Sigh. This is getting really old in interview after interview. Stop blaming everyone else and start taking some responsibility for your and your team's own misrepresentations and missteps that fueled the criticism.

    the 27-year-old singer
    Del Rey was born in New York in 1986
    Case in point.

    she recorded an album with producer David Kahne (Paul McCartney, the Strokes, New Order), released in 2009, which didn't sell. Titled Lana Del Ray aka Lizzy Grant
    Um, actually the title was just Lana Del Ray and it wasn't released until 2010, but again, great fact-checking.

    "I'm not a provocateur."
    Titles song "Fucked My Way Up to the Top".
     

    She went through a painful period of writer's block while touring after the release of Born to Die, "trying to write things that I thought would be more accessible,"
    Why, Lana, why?

    Del Rey... grew up in Lake Placid, a small town on the northern edge of upstate New York. "It's the coldest spot in the nation," she says.


    Conflict with teachers at school, where her mother also taught, led to her parents sending her to Kent, a private boarding school in Connecticut; her uncle had recently taken up a position there as admissions officer, and he helped to arrange financial aid.
    inb4 "Conflict with teachers at school" = "let's make love with our teachers". Hmm, sheds new light on "My Momma" & "Boarding School". Also, I wonder if this is the uncle that taught her to play guitar.

    "I was lonely," she says, but "I had this teacher who was my only friend in school. His name was Gene. He read us Leaves of Grass and we read Lolita in class, and it changed my world, which was a really solitary world. I didn't have a connection to anyone in class and when I found these writers, I knew they were my people." Gene was just a few years older than her, fresh from Georgetown University. "He would sign me out and we would listen to Tupac and stuff in his car," she remembers, "and he would teach me about old movies like Citizen Kane. He taught me everything."
    Jesus fucking Christ Lana. Now you've mentioned him by his first name? Sorry, Mr. Campbell, there's nothing I can do anymore. God help you now. For the sake of your career, it's probably a good thing you're teaching at an all boys school now.

    "Nina" and "Billie" are on her left upper chest, for Billie Holiday and Nina Simone, her favourite singers.
    Um, wasn't there an interview where she said she wasn't inspired by any female artists?

    After high school, Del Rey attended Fordham, a university in the Bronx where she finished a BA with a major in philosophy, but felt out of sync with campus life.
    I still have some skepticism about whether she actually graduated, but at least she's correctly saying it was a "big degree in philosophy" rather than metaphysics.
     
    She thinks for a moment and says, "I did lose my car, my family's car. That was not a good thing. I guess that was a catalyst." I wonder if this is a euphemism for crashing it, but it's more prosaic. "I forgot where I put it." She sighs and smiles ruefully.
    I just riiiiide. And forget where I parked because I was too drunk to remember.


    Um, guys, it's an Australian newspaper. There are these things called time zones...

    This is a really good interview, "The written word is one of the last forms of magic we have" is my favourite line

    Wow, this is really one of the most revealing interviews EVER. And one of th best overall. FINALLY
      Talking with John Ehmann at interscope since Diet MTN Dew was uploaded More stills from Born To Die video need to leak ASAP… Period of writer’s block while touring after Born To Die  Her mom taught at the school she attended Mr. Campbell name drop "Nina Bella" tattoo is actually "Nina Billie" after Nina Simone and Billie holiday Rented trailer halfway through college for $400 a month "don't have a reference for where I was coming from even before that. I was always singing and always changing - the timing of it hit when I was in a particular phase. It could have hit three years before that, and then they would have been going back to the era when I wasn't platinum, and I was in my natural hair colour.”
    Lizzy Grant and Sirens tease  "there are pop stars who are regarded as really authentic and innovative who spend hours putting their outfits together".
    Even some “shade”  [smoking] "It's part of my process, unfortunately," she apologises. She took up smoking at around the same time she gave up drinking, when she was 18. "I used to drink a lot and now I don't drink at all," she says. Was there a catalyst for that decision? "My whole life was the catalyst. It was a mess." She thinks for a moment and says, "I did lose my car, my family's car. That was not a good thing. I guess that was a catalyst." I wonder if this is a euphemism for crashing it, but it's more prosaic. "I forgot where I put it." She sighs and smiles ruefully
    I wouldn't trust Lana when it comes to describing ages
