“I think it’s really easy to be the altruistic hero of your own narrative and story.”

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 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.

Doing drama is, in a sense, easier. In doing comedy, if you don’t get that laugh, there’s something wrong.

I had a very easy time loving an audience. But when it’s one-on-one with somebody, all I wanted to do was run away, because maybe they’re going to want something from me I can’t give, or they’re going to hurt me.

Anyone should be very suspicious of a sentence he’s written that can’t be read aloud easily.

Do you know that the harder thing to do and the right thing to do are usually the same thing? Nothing that has meaning is easy,”Easy” doesn’t enter into grown-up life.

Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don’t need to be done.

Sex is too easy for women to get, and too hard for men. I mean, honestly, for a man to walk into someplace and have every woman ready to take him home, he’d have to rule the world. A woman would have to do her hair.

You have come into a hard world. I know of only one easy place in it, and that is the grave.

Putting on weight is easy all the way through. But after the first couple of weeks, the novelty wears off very quickly, and your body is groaning and starting to really shout at you, saying, ‘Why? Why? Why? Why are you doing this?’
