"Lana Del Rey has defended a recent interview where she claimed &amp;quot;I wish I was dead already&amp;quot;, while the author of the piece Tim Jonze has also stood by his own reporting. The &amp;#039;West Coast&amp;#039; singer took to Twitter claiming she was asked &amp;quot;leading questions about death and persona&amp;quot; and that the journalist was &amp;quot;hiding sinister ambitions&amp;quot; in a series of tweets.  MTV captured the tweets before they were later deleted by Del Rey. During the interview with The Guardian the singer discussed her idols Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse, both of whom died at the age of 27.  When she was pressed about whether she saw dying young as being glamorous, she responded: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know. Ummm, yeah&amp;quot; followed by her assertion that she wished she was &amp;quot;dead already&amp;quot;. Tim Jonze of The Guardian, who conducted the interview, has tweeted saying that he &amp;quot;clarified with her everything she said&amp;quot; and that he is &amp;quot;confused why she made out her own words were twisted&amp;quot;.  He went on to post a two-minute audio clip of the interview itself and an article for The Guardian defending his piece. &amp;quot;The problem with Lana&amp;#039;s complaint is that she doesn&amp;#039;t seem to know what she&amp;#039;s actually complaining about,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s not alleging that I made up her quotes, nor is she claiming that they&amp;#039;ve been &amp;quot;twisted&amp;quot; or that we&amp;#039;ve printed them out of context. &amp;quot;Instead she seems annoyed by the fact I wanted her to say interesting things and asked questions that caused her to do so. Well sorry, Lana, but that&amp;#039;s just me doing my job.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
