Lana Del Rey has claimed that being an artist is her greatest "indulgence".
The 'Video Games' singer explained that she is very lucky to be making a living as an entertainer while so many others are struggling.
"My biggest indulgence is being an artist," Del Rey revealed to LoveCat. "I still think it's beautiful that I make music for a living. The music videos that I make myself are expensive and it takes money to clear all the copyrights."
Del Rey went on to admit that she also has a love of expensive jewellery, saying: "My second indulgence is diamonds.
"I have a jeweller in Brooklyn named Uri and he makes me all my custom gold and diamond pieces - grills, triple rings, etc."
Del Rey previously admitted that Britney Spears is one of her major artistic influences.
"I'm not really interested in a ton of female musicians but there is something about Britney that compelled me - the way she sings and just the way she looks," she recently commented.
