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.

FINNEASWhat I really didn’t want to do is work with other people and have them go, ‘Oh, Finneas just does that sound for everybody.’ The Billie sound is only Billie – I’ll only do that for her.
FINNEASI always wanted to be on tour or making albums.
FINNEASI’m a bad guitar tuner. I have to pay somebody to tune my guitars.
FINNEASI don’t analyze songs because I think it will make me a better songwriter, I just do it out of sheer curiosity.
FINNEASWhen I started, I felt that there was this incredible amount of doubt of my ability as a producer.
FINNEASObviously I’m very grateful ‘Bad Guy’ is doing so well – it’s shocking and surprising and gratifying – but I do think it’s important to try to make the next song that people are gonna be excited about.
FINNEASAll the albums that I grew up listening to were produced by one person.
FINNEASThere’s always a better word than a swear word.
FINNEASIf you need to record live instruments, especially drums, it’s still best to do it in a studio.
FINNEASI was on a TV show called ‘Glee.’ I mean, I was on the real tail end of that show; it was already way past its peak. But still, for me aged 17 landing something like that was a big deal.
FINNEASYou go to a truck stop and there are key chains with names on them, and there’s no Finneas. There’s no Billie. They’re little things, but as a kid, you just feel weirdly ostracized.
FINNEASIf you’re thinking about all the possibilities of your life, there are extreme negatives, which you hope don’t happen, and extreme positives, which you just aren’t willing to think about because you think you’ll jinx it.
FINNEASI mainly try to foster long-term collaborative relationships.
FINNEASIt’s always important to be checking in with people you love.
FINNEASI’m just obsessed with music I guess.
