Love has always been the most important thing to me and the thing by which my life is guided.
FINNEASLove has always been the most important thing to me and the thing by which my life is guided.
FINNEASI 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.
FINNEASI came to NAMM once and saw this guitar that self-tuned, and I thought, ‘Wow, this is the future!’ And I’ve never seen it again.
FINNEASPeople 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.
FINNEASI mainly try to foster long-term collaborative relationships.
FINNEASI really always wanted to be an adult. I didn’t really like being an adolescent at all.
FINNEASWe were a very crunchy, sort of hippie-dippy family.
FINNEASAs 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.’
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.
FINNEASMy 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.
FINNEASWhen I wrote ‘When the Party’s Over,’ it had a universal quality.
FINNEASI always wanted to be on tour or making albums.
FINNEASThe amount of times I’ve been told something by artists I’m working with, which I’m sure they haven’t told even their significant other or families, is shocking.
FINNEASI 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.
FINNEASA 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.
FINNEASWell, predominately, if I’m writing for another artist, I’m sitting there with them and we’re writing it together.
