“I always wanted to be on tour or making albums.”

My dreams as a kid were so far below the Grammys, like, maybe selling out a show, or, like, seeing your album on a shelf in an Urban Outfitters… and the Grammys are so far above that. It’s very ridiculous.

I never get tired of writing about love.

If you need to record live instruments, especially drums, it’s still best to do it in a studio.

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.

If you are not going to produce albums then you are not going to produce new fans. It’s impossible.

And we use it to read album reviews and watch kitten videos… not to put those two things in the same light!

I think every album you have, especially if it’s done well, you feel like you’re competing with yourself.

I’ve always wanted to make a bluegrass album.

My mother kept asking me, “When are you going to do a gospel album?” And I’ve always wanted to do a gospel album.

I’m free to do what I please, I’m probably not going to do albums. Just because I think releasing tracks as singles is a better way for me to stay topical.

People say releasing an album is like giving birth, but it’s more like having a gallbladder operation.

I’ve always known that if I recorded an album, it would come out, and people would enjoy it!
