“The 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.”

I’m just obsessed with music I guess.

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.

I love pop songs so much and I don’t put a ton of pressure on myself as a solo artist to always write the most commercial feeling thing, I just want to write things I would love to listen to.

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.

Even before making music I was always someone that you had to get to know, at school or elementary. I walked the hallways. I would take your pizza

When I was younger I used to be really into photography, and I still am, I just don’t really get to do it besides taking my own artists photos and stuff like that.

The Artist is no other than he who unlearns what he has learned, in order to know himself.

I see myself as a true modernist. Even when I do a traditional gown, I give it a modern twist. I go to the past for research. I need to know what came before so I can break the rules.
