Lana Del Rey chats about her rise to fame, the inspiration behind 'Video Games' and what she's got planned for the future.

"Mr. Leone was Lady Gaga's first manager at the time of her entry into the music world as Stefani Germanotta , became a close friend and served as Lana's mentor. He arranged for her to take a SHOF songwriting workshop led by songwriting and vocal coach Lorraine Ferro. Although Ms. Grant's father was a millionaire, she lived in a New Jersey trailer park in those days and could not afford the modest $250 fee. Mr. Leone stepped in, and the singer attended the 10-week workshop from April through mid-June. During this time, also, she began to perform regularly at SHOF's Open Mics, which Leone hosted."

She reminds me the girl from Black Swan, Nina..

[beccababyy08]

Wish I hadn't watched this. :/ Kind of disappointed. Her songs are so good, but she has no personality.. Damn.

[WhittRak]

I think she is a great artist. If you don't "get' her then don't get on here and post things about her personality. Seriously?

[TheTechnicolourPhase]

I don't know why people think she has no personality; I think she's captivating. She expresses things so beautifully and I love how soft spoken she is. I admit I'm not the biggest fan of her music but her ability to speak about her inspirations for her songs....she just draws you in.

[HijackedGiraffe]

At first I wasn't that crazy about her, but she's sort of grown on me. Lovin' the songs "Born to Die "Video games"

[beaglebaby978]

She doesn't come off as someone who is extremely unique and amazing...you get the feeling that she may be from her videos and lyrics...but after hearing about her musical influences and justifying her videos you can tell her mind is very beautiful, she just doesn't express that through her presence.

I loved how she said, "Eminem" and then said, "I like all the greats from every genre. Couldn't agree more. Smart girl.

[fuzzmaniac]

Can anyone say 'vacuous'?

[nina14101997]

ugly.

@beccababyy08

Couldn't agree more. She sounds so mono tone.

[lunacywishes13]

@Ultravioletx1 I agree

[beccababyy08]

@314amo This doesn't seem "reserved" to me. I just get a sense of emptiness.. Just seems so fake-- like she is holding back. May just be because she has major stage fright (which she has mentioned in other interviews) or this just may be how she is.

Her songs are beautiful, she definitely has passion, and I agree she's gorgeous.. but my opinion still stands. It's just what came to mind when I watched.
