Lana Del Rey is featured on the front cover of V magazine's latest issue.
Lana Del Rey had to share with the magazine:
On her famous 'anti-feminism' quote: "Some people listen to music and they don't really think about it too much further than that they like to hear it in the car. Some people listen to it and they think, 'God, that's appalling, I'm not going to let my daughter listen to that.' The luxury we have as a younger generation is being able to figure out where we want to go from here, which is why I've said things like, 'I don't focus on feminism, I focus on the future.' It's not to say that there's not more to do in that area. I've gotten to witness through history the evolution of so many movements and now I'm standing at the forefront of new technological movements. I'm not undermining other issues. But I feel like that's obvious, like I shouldn't even have to bring that up."
On receiving criticism for her music: "First of all, when you're writing a record alone, you don't really think about the effect your music is going to have on other people. I'm not really the type of person to condone any behavior that would end up being harmful to anyone else but at the same time I'm not going to limit my lyrical content to things that don't really relate to me or sing about things just because they
rhyme."
On naming her album Honeymoon:
"'Honeymoon.' I guess it's the word that sums up the ultimate dream. I mean, life is a honeymoon, y'know? Life, love, paradise, freedom...that's forever. With someone, or just with yourself. It just felt right, kind of the way Ultraviolence felt right before that, when I had a little more rage [laughs]. I love the concept that life is a dream and you curate your own space so that it becomes your heaven. It's all contingent upon your state of mind, which is why I don't always do interviews because it puts me in a bad fucking mood. I really try and keep my world beautiful but it's tricky. We're at a point in time when life truly can be what you want it to be."
