“I don’t particularly like recording studios, they tend to be lifeless and without any natural light, so I wanted to record wherever we lived. We just don’t want to be bound to a studio to who we’d have to pay untold sums to.”

To be honest, I’ve found so many more friends in the music industry than people I disagree with. I certainly haven’t been made to feel like an outsider.

Everybody has different taste and everyone’s favourite song is different and that’s great.

All the albums that I grew up listening to were produced by one person.

Love has always been the most important thing to me and the thing by which my life is guided.

I feel like you’re able to be your most creative in private environments, and not a studio where an A&R person is coming in, telling us a song isn’t a smash.

We wrote and recorded the ‘Bond’ song on a tour bus in Texas.

As soon as you make anything that people like, you get all these new artists hitting you up like ‘I want to sound just like Billie Eilish.’ And I’m always like, ‘Absolutely not.’

For me, I’m going to try to make my favorite song over the most popular song.

I just have no interest in being at a party.

I really always wanted to be an adult. I didn’t really like being an adolescent at all.

When we are making a song for Billie I want it to resonate and speak the truth with her and want it to be a piece of fabric she can wear.

Usually, I get bored of my stuff almost immediately.

I idolize my kid sister, so I get it. I understand why other people do too.

The music that I listened to when I was growing up was the most important to me forever.

I feel like the thing that I’ve learned a lot is when you’re involved in something, you don’t always get to appreciate it for what it is as much. You’re focused on the details and how you can make it better. It’s kind of torture.

If you’re paying attention and you’ve been a good listener, you learn every day.

I agree that faith is essential to success in life, but I do not accept your definition of faith, i.e. belief in life after death.

Professionals stick to the schedule; amateurs let life get in the way.

There is something wonderfully bold and liberating about saying yes to our entire imperfect and messy life.

I don’t want to be someone’s reason to hate their life. I want to be someone’s reason to seek something more in their life.

Whether your life is happy or not is your own choice.

The facts of life are that a child who has seen war cannot be compared with a child who doesn’t know what war is except from television.

Your life is meant to be an epic story. How you think, perform and live today is part of that script.

It’s part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what’s been printed about me.
