Lana reveals depression; gastric ulcer & film offers.
Your songs seem to put melancholy in an environment of opulence. Is this your intention or does this happen accidentally?

I feel like I make happy songs, but when others listen to them, they think they’re sad. I can’t escape from my life, which has been wavy. Three years after my debut album, I’m still suffering from self-doubt and depression. Ahead of me there’s uncertainty and a feeling of emptiness. I don’t like it when I don’t know where I’m going. My love life, my family – are so fragile. I’m not sure of anything.
You give the impression you don’t enjoy huge concerts, is that true?

I’m on tour in America since the first days of April, it’s the first time I play so many shows and everything goes exceptionally well. These past two years I don’t feel very well physically, I suffer from gastric ulcer, but I can make it through concerts who’s capacity can be over 9,000 people. I smoke, I drink a lot of coffee. I eat chocolate and pizza. My way of living when I’m not on tour isn’t that right. The fact I played Coachella and Glastonbury in the same year is a great honour. When I’m done with my tour, I’d like to occupy myself with cinema and movies. I have received some interesting suggestions and I’m really tempted to say ” Yes! “. When I was little I used to dream about Cannes, the festival, the prestige and the red carpet. I sang there last May for the third year in a row. As a teenager, I dreamt about living in France, an exile poetess. I really loved French culture, especially Serge Gainsbourg.
Only read the two quotes above but idk I really love her character.
She's truly talented, and they say the most intelligent people are often the most depressed. I'd love to watch her in films so hopefully she can do both movie soundtracks and acting. She's got the look talent and voice for it.
It's frustrating to read this cause she could probably get rid of that gastric ulcer if she stopped smoking, ate well and used the right treatments Stress doesn't help either and I'm sure she went through lots of that these last 2 years
But I don't think I'll be able to cope with not having new music from her, those days that we thought she'd never release anything after Paradise were already terrifying and now seeing how her music has evolved and how she is actually able to capture sensitiveness and sadness through different lenses (like it or not, BTD, Paradise and UV are essentially different albums albeit all having the same Lana Del Rey atmosphere), I cannot see Lana Del Rey restricting herself to an area that is not music, I'd love her to venture in other arts, but keep the music!
A lot of your idols have died at such a young age, Elliot Smith, Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse, Marilyn Monroe, Jeff Buckley..
I do not love them because they died young, but this seems to be the fate of almost everyone I admire. Luckily, this didn’t happen with Leonard Cohen. I do not romanticize death at a young age, artists are far more useful alive than dead.
Stress doesn't help either and I'm sure she went through lots of that these last 2 years
She looks the part, but the movies she would be food for aren't really made anymore
