- Lana Del Rey: I was in the winter of my life, and the men I met along the road were my only summer.
- Lana Del Rey: At night I fell asleep with visions of myself, dancing and laughing and crying with them.
- Lana Del Rey: Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour, and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me, and my only real happy times.
- Lana Del Rey: I was a singer - not a very popular one, I once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet, but upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky that I wished on over and over again, sparkling and broken.
- Lana Del Rey: But I didn't really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted, and then losing it to know what true freedom is.
- Lana Del Rey: When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I'd been living, they asked me why - but there's no use in talking to people who have home.
- Lana Del Rey: They have no idea what it's like to seek safety in other people - for home to be wherever you lay your head. I was always an unusual girl.
- Lana Del Rey: My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean...
- Lana Del Rey: And if I said I didn't plan for it to turn out this way I'd be lying...
- Lana Del Rey: Because I was born to be the other woman.
- Lana Del Rey: Who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone.
- Lana Del Rey: Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn't even talk about it, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.
