To Lana Del Rey, Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain are her heroes.

In an interview with The Guardian, when asked if she believes dying young is glamorous, she said yes.

"I don't know. Ummm, yeah," she said. "I wish I was dead already."

After the interviewer tells her not to say that, Del Rey said she wouldn't say if it weren't true.

"I do! I don't want to have to keep doing this. But I am," she said. "That's just how I feel. If it wasn't that way, then I wouldn't say it. I would be scared if I knew [death] was coming, but..."

The singer continued to explain that she does not enjoy being a pop star. She's had family members come on tour with her and compare her life to a "movie," which Del Rey then said is more like a "really f*cked-up movie."

Since her breakthrough song "Video Games," she hasn't been able to enjoy any of the success that has come her way.

She didn't want to do a follow-up album, which is something she still feels. But this time, Del Rey doesn't think she has to put so much of her experiences out there.

In 2011, the singer had her computer hacked, so things like her medical records and financial statements started to be leaked. There was also 211 songs on there, including "Black Beauty," a song that was supposed to be on her upcoming album "Ultraviolence."

The singer doesn't think she is being targeted just because she's a woman, though.

"People ask me this all the time," she said. "I think they think there's an element of sexism going on, but I feel that it's more personal. I don't see where the female part comes into it. I just can't catch that feminist angle."

She said that she's never been shocking and that perhaps other singers, such as Miley Cyrus, Lorde and Lady Gaga, receive criticism is because "they're eliciting it."

Her new album drops June 16.
