Lana Del Rey Speaks on Being Very Uncomfortable on Stage

Lana Del Rey’s live performances have always been a little awkward (everyone remembers her critically panned Saturday Night Live weirdness) and now the singer has admitted that she finds being on stage to be very uncomfortable and she often ends up shaking or trembling when she has to perform a live set. Luckily her fans try to support her through it, even if she ends up kneeling – she realizes she isn’t in her element:

”I love to take care of the songs – that’s my natural place – then, when I get on stage that’s not my element. Sometimes I kneel down because I am trembling or touch the audience because I don’t know what else to do. But the nice thing about the kids is that they feel bad for me, and pass me soft toys!”

Lana also opens up on her desire to write for films, saying it is something she has dreamed about and when she gets to that place she will be truly happy because that’s her main career objective now that she’s got mainstream fame:

”When I was starting, I had a vision of being a writer for film and that’s what I am doing now. I’m so happy. Hopefully I will branch into film work and stay there. That will be my happy place. I’d like to stay in one place for a long time.”
