Lana Del Rey

If you are born an artist, you have no choice but to fight to stay an artist.

Feeling like you’re respected among the people who do the same thing you do is incredible and necessary.

I don’t believe in the school of hard knocks, although I’ve had them. All that stuff about whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger is so not true. Do you know what makes you stronger? When people treat you and your art with dignity.
