" Lana Del Rey has admitted that criticism of her work makes her want to turn to alcohol. The singer confessed that the pressure of making music isn&amp;#039;t healthy for her ongoing battle with alcoholism, from which she has suffered since her early teens.  &amp;quot;I feel like my work&amp;#039;s important, but I don&amp;#039;t always feel like I get respect for it,&amp;quot; she told FASHION magazine. &amp;quot;When I feel like people don&amp;#039;t like [my] music and that the 10 years I spent making what I made was not for a good reason, that makes me want to drink again.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t believe in the school of hard knocks, although I&amp;#039;ve had them. All that stuff about whatever doesn&amp;#039;t kill you makes you stronger is so not true.   &amp;quot;Do you know what makes you stronger? When people treat you and your art with dignity. &amp;quot;Feeling like you&amp;#039;re respected among the people who do the same thing you do is incredible and necessary. If you are born an artist, you have no choice but to fight to stay an artist.&amp;quot; Lana Del Rey is currently working on her second studio album, after her debut collection Born To Die was the world&amp;#039;s fifth best-selling of 2012.
