“I’m just obsessed with music I guess.”

I’m not a control freak in that like I boss everybody around, but like a control freak and like, I like knowing exactly what I get to do that day and having a say.

I don’t analyze songs because I think it will make me a better songwriter, I just do it out of sheer curiosity.

I’ve learned a lot from my mom and my dad. I learn a lot every time I watch Billie perform.

A lot of the time, in pop music especially, there’s reverb. And the reason is that reverb makes vocals sound better 99% of the time. It makes the notes ring out.

Definitely for me and my sister, wherever we are the most comfortable is where the best music’s going to be made.

I always wanted to be on tour or making albums.

To me, as a producer, I always want something to set stuff apart.

I usually don’t like to annoy people in asking to work with them.

I feel like a lot of music producers have, like, the same toolbox. And I think, like, to me, as a producer, like, I want something to set my stuff apart.

Obviously 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.

People don’t come to see a Billie Eilish show to come to see me. They come to see her. So I just try not to screw up too much on my instruments.

When I wrote ‘When the Party’s Over,’ it had a universal quality.

I had a very positive, wonderful, happy upbringing, and still, for several reasons, I really didn’t enjoy being a child very much. I felt that I had no control over my life and everything seemed scarier and larger than life.

What 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.

I don’t think if you set out to make an album to get a bunch of Grammy nominations… you just have to set out to make an album you’ll really love.

I am just fascinated by music and I want to know how to identify all the things I love about it; to me music theory is like learning another language and then being able to explain how much you love something more clearly.

It’s important to love in hip hop.

My music is influenced by L.A. culture.

I’m Gone be the biggest thing In Hip Hop one day, mark my words.

The night is to get drunk listening to adventure.

Some people are making music just for numbers and views.

The fame isn’t important to me. It’s a blessing to have. Having so many people that support me, that love me and listen to my music, is beautiful.

We need to try to unite audiences, unite countries, join musical tastes, unite people.

My goal in music is to create nostalgic moments.
