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

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.

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.

I was ready to quit music. It felt to me like music equalled death.

If I heard someone else singing like me, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Music became my focus. At 13, I was jamming with my mates. At 15, I was playing clubs.

Growing around great musicians, you just can’t help it. I identified with it immediately. It was something that was so natural to me that when I started singing, it was almost like speaking.

There’s a little exhaust pipe leaking gasoline, and that gasoline is how good your music is, the gasoline is how you have relationships with people.

There were a lot of songs that I still wanted to put on the album but it worked out. I can only fit 18 [tracks] on the album, I would put 30 if I could.

I only write music for myself, I don’t try and appeal to anyone else.

Your personal history is a part of what happens with your hands and your head as you play music.
