Lana Del Rey has said some pretty shocking things in interviews, including one controversy with The Guardian, in which she said that she would 'rather be dead,' only to say that she never said it. The reporter then posted the audio clips of her saying it online.
So we're not sure if the comments in an interview with Complex magazine will stand or how they will be taken.
Posing for the cover of the magazine's August/September issue, Lena says of Hollywood and sex, “I like a physical love. I like a hands-on love. How can I say this without getting into too much trouble? I like a tangible, passionate love. For me, if it isn’t physical, I’m not interested.”
And on her single titled, F*cked My Way Up to the Top, the singer says, “It’s commentary, like, ‘I know what you think of me,’ and I’m alluding to that.”
“You know, I have slept with a lot of guys in the industry,” she admits, “but none of them helped me get my record deals. Which is annoying.”
And on her failed engagement to Barrie-James O’Neill?
“Definitely demolished that through tons of depression and insecurity. Now it’s just an untenable relationship, impossible because of my emotional instability,” she says.
And on her success, she says that she still doesn't feel like she fits in: “I don’t feel like things have gone well. It’s not the way I would have chosen them to go,” she says. “So it’s not like I feel everything’s turned around and it’s great.”
She continues, “I still didn’t find that community of people I was looking for, like the way Bob Dylan found his friends, or the respect of being a writer.”
“Because that gold and platinum stuff, it doesn’t mean as much if you’re walking down the street and you can hear people saying things about you. That doesn’t even out,” adds the songstress.
What do you think? Will this interview haunt her? Shocking comments?

SINGER/SONGWRITER MOXIE RAIA WILL RELEASE HER DEBUT LP (CAPITOL RECORDS/THE BRAIN) LATER THIS YEAR. AMOREMAGAZINE.COM TALKS TO THE SONGSTRESS ABOUT HER LIFE, CAREER AND INSPIRATIONS GROWING UP.
Moxie Raia is one of those multi-talented artists that will likely set a new standard for a perfect mix of equal parts pop and rock with a profusion of lyrics that make you ponder the more provocative moments of your own life.
The New Jersey native knew that writing lyrics, singing and dancing were her passion from the young age of 13 when she moved to New York City to live with her sister and break into the music industry. It was a few years of trial and error, until 2012 when she was studying Jazz at Columbia University that she decided to drop out and move to Los Angeles to join The Brain House, a songwriters collective lead by well-know producer Freddy Wexler (Lil Wayne, Shakira, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez). Looking back and commenting on those experiences Moxie states, “I’d roll off the couch in the morning to Dave (fellow songwriter) playing some guitar chords over his cereal, and I’d start humming something; Freddy would pull out his computer and start a beat, and by lunch we’d have a song. Rinse and repeat.”
In October 2013, she would go on to release a 5 song mix-tape titled, R.P.Y., that received rave reviews from music bloggers who took notice. Moxie was well on her way to setting her own course of who she is as an artist.
Earlier this year the songstress released her first single titled, Buffalo Bill off her upcoming LP. The song is a classic example of what a hit summer jam should be: What Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines was to 2013, Buffalo Bill will be to 2014. The song is a smooth mix of pop, rock and horns that make a cameo in the song at all the right moments - leading the listener to demand more. The video for the song is a collaborative effort from her peers at The Brian House who shot the entire video with an iPhone, each capturing who they are and what they do through each other's perspectives.
Perhaps with a bit of mystery, like Lana Del Ray, Moxie will continue to inspire us through the lyrics she writes and sings to live the life we all wish we could. From the talent in her heart to her passion for making inspiring music, moxie truly lives up to her namesake.

Check out the video for Buffalo Bill:
Jimmy Kimmel opened his show on Monday showing off new photos of his new baby girl along with explaining her name.
On his show, the comedian said of his wife Molly McNearney, “My wife is doing fine. I’m fine, too,” adding, “I was so brave. I cried a little but I didn’t scream. You guys would’ve been very proud of me.”
And so why did they name their daughter Jane? He explains, “We named her after my grandmother — her name is Grandma Kimmel."
Of course that was a joke!
