GQ: I'm curious: Are you making a lot of money now?
Lana Del Rey: I think I'm going to, but not yet.
GQ: I see "Video Games" showed up on The CW's Ringer.
Lana Del Rey: I only got $500 for each week, when "Kinda Outta Luck" was the promo for the Gossip Girl thing. $500 per week for four and a half weeks leading up to the series. It's not about the money, it's about the exposure. If they don't have to show you, they won't. If my team wants it to be on television, it will be on television. I have a limited control over where things are placed, because my team does that. Creatively I'm in charge, if I wasn't, I would stop. If things continue to go the way they're going, I'll have money.
GQ: That's good. That's part of the goal.
Lana Del Rey: Yeah. It's nice not to live in fear. That's part of the goal. Not being afraid of what's happening to you.

GQ: What was your version of trouble?
Lana Del Rey: I don't know.
GQ: You don't know or you won't say?
Lana Del Rey: No, I don't know. We were doing so well. [sighs]
GQ: I'm not trying to intrude. I'm just curious.
Lana Del Rey: Yeah.
