Being an artist doesn’t just mean you have a song. That doesn’t make you an artist. The word ‘artist’ means so many different things, and I feel like to be a real one, you really have to do it all. The people that I think of as artists – Tyler the Creator, Childish Gambino, Kanye West – are doing the most.
Author: Billie EilishCalling women slut is out of date. Shaming people for wearing what they want is out of date.
Author: Billie EilishI have so many designs and video ideas and lyrics in my head, so I always try to be productive.
Author: Billie EilishI really wanted to be a model when I was little. I loved photography, and I loved being on camera. But I was short and chubby, so I couldn’t. Anyway, being an artist is way more interesting than just being a model because it’s about you and what you want to be. You’re not being treated like a clothes hanger.
Author: Billie EilishI felt like, for so many years – and I still even feel it – as a girl, you can’t really expect to go on stage and dress like a boy and jump around and scream with the audience and mosh and stuff, and every time that happens, I feel really proud.
Author: Billie EilishI grew up on the Beatles; I love Linkin Park and Green Day. I heard hip-hop for the first time at 11 and realized what I was missing.
Author: Billie EilishI’m not going to say I’m cool, because I don’t really feel that. I just don’t care at all, and I guess that’s what people think is cool.
Author: Billie EilishWe uploaded ‘Ocean Eyes’ to SoundCloud, and it started getting a lot of plays pretty much immediately.
Author: Billie EilishI play piano and ukulele, and I taught myself those things just because I wanted to play them.
Author: Billie EilishI’m trying to show everybody that I’m a girl, and I’m five foot four, and you can do anything you want, no matter your gender. It’s your world, too!
Author: Billie EilishI find a lot of inspiration through visuals. When I was 12, I saw Aurora’s ‘Runaway’ music video. Something inside me clicked, like, ‘That is what I want to do, no matter whether it goes anywhere or not.’
Author: Billie EilishWriting a song is so personal. You have to have trust in someone you’re working with; otherwise, you’re not gonna come out with something that’s really you.
Author: Billie EilishI used to write random little stupid things when I was five, but then the first song I really wrote was one called ‘Fingers Crossed,’ which is on SoundCloud.
Author: Billie EilishI had a period in my life where I decided that I would never be bored again and that, if I had any free time at all, I would make plans, and I would always be doing things. It actually was great for a year or so, but then I lost all of my friends.
Author: Billie EilishI’m not a category of a person. I’m the same person, for my whole life. I like this thing this time, and I like this thing that time.
Author: Billie EilishMusic is what I love to do, and it’s what I want to do for the rest of my life.
Author: Billie EilishI listen to music all day every day. I can’t not listen to music. It’s kind of scary how much I listen to music, but it’s what I love, and it’s all I care about, so I’m good with it.
Author: Billie EilishAll of the Vines that were acted & setup & had nice cameras, those weren’t the good Vines. The good Vines were, like, a random little kid in the middle of a forest, like, yelling.
Author: Billie EilishIf I’m in a bad mood, or if I’m uncomfortable, it’s probably what I’m wearing that’s making me feel that way.
Author: Billie EilishSometimes it’s flattering when people copy you, but sometimes it gets to a breaking point.
Author: Billie EilishI’ve always liked being busy. If I have nothing to do for a week, it just makes me mad.
Author: Billie EilishThere are always going to be bad things. But you can write it down and make a song out of it.
Author: Billie EilishI love to watch videos, and I’ve always liked to film and take pictures. I have an eye for really weird things that nobody thinks about. I used to make little movies about myself and then edit them on iMovie.
Author: Billie EilishWhen I do have free time, I spend it with friends, or I spend it at home writing or making something.
Author: Billie EilishTime is kind of an amazing thing because you can do so much with it. I think people underestimate time… I don’t want to just sit on my phone for hours.
Author: Billie EilishI go through a lot of depression, and I know other people do, too, but I have an outlet that so many people don’t. If you have that inside of you and can’t get it out, what do you do?
Author: Billie EilishPirate was going to be my middle name, but then my uncle had a problem with it because pirates are bad.
Author: Billie EilishI’m gonna make what I want to make, and other people are gonna like what they’re gonna like. It doesn’t really matter.
Author: Billie EilishI hate smiling. It makes me feel weak and powerless and small. I’ve always been like that; I don’t smile in any pictures.
Author: Billie EilishMy brother had written ‘Ocean Eyes,’ and we recorded it, basing all of the production around contemporary and lyrical dance. I think of most songs that way – if you can’t dance to a song, it’s not a song.
Author: Billie EilishIf I make music and people hate it, you know, whatever. I’ll die someday, and one day, they will too.
Author: Billie EilishWords are more powerful than some noises. Noises won’t last long. Lyrics are so important, and people don’t realise that.
Author: Billie EilishWhat makes a song last is real content from a mind that is thinking a little bit harder about certain things. A lot of artists don’t really think that hard.
Author: Billie EilishIn the public eye, girls and women with strong perspectives are hated. If you’re a girl with an opinion, people just hate you. There are still people who are afraid of successful women, and that’s so lame.
