Lana Del Rey: 'Feminism Is Just Not An Interesting Concept'

Lana Del Rey opened up in a recent interview, denouncing feminism and discussing a mystery illness that afflicted her while touring in support of her 2012 debut Born to Die. Regarding her views on gender equality, she told Fader, "For me, the issue of feminism is just not an interesting concept. . . Whenever people bring up feminism, I'm like, god. I'm just not really that interested." She went on to say, "I'm more interested in, you know, SpaceX and Tesla, what's going to happen with our intergalactic possibilities."

When asked more about her feelings on feminism, she defined the word. "My idea of a true feminist is a woman who feels free enough to do whatever she wants." And when the interviewer followed up that statement by asking her why she's often choked in her videos, she said, "I like a little hardcore love." In the same interview, she revealed that she was battling an unknown illness when a fan in Dublin took video of her crying while singing her single "Video Games." "I'd been sick on tour for about two years with this medical anomaly that doctors couldn't figure out," she said. "That's a big part of my life: I just feel really sick a lot of the time and can't figure out why.
