"'Bellyache' is totally fictional. I like writing about things that aren't real. The song is about not trusting anyone and then putting trust in yourself and realizing that you don't know what you are doing, either. Or realizing that things you do with a group of people that you think are cool in the moment are ultimately all on you."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I don't want people at my shows to come out and say, 'I just saw a cool show.' I want them to say, 'I had fun at the show.' I want it to be a collaborative thing and be part of the audience and have them be part of me. I try to interact with everyone there and have them be equal to me because they are."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"Being an artist doesn't just mean you have a song. That doesn't make you an artist. The word 'artist' means so many different things, and I feel like to be a real one, you really have to do it all. The people that I think of as artists - Tyler the Creator, Childish Gambino, Kanye West - are doing the most."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I'm a really artistic person, and so, with the live stuff, there's a lot that I think is really cool. Beyonce and Rihanna have all these dancers. So with the live costumes and video costumes, I'd really like to have my vision. The way that I want people to dress is very specific. I love fashion."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I work with my brother Finneas, and he produces all of my music in his little bedroom in our house. We actually tried renting out a studio for a month when we were producing 'Don't Smile at Me,' but it was really hard there, and we ended up just doing it at home anyway."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"Me and my brother get along super well. We're, like, best friends. So we'll stay up until, like, five just talking because we get along and, you know, it's cool. And he respects my opinions, and I respect his, even if we don't have the same opinions, but a lot of the time we do."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I wrote my first song at 12 and remember someone asking, 'What were you going through at 12 that you could write about?' I get what you're saying, but 11, 12, 13 were the hardest years of my life. You learn everything. You learn how horrible things feel."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I felt like, for so many years - and I still even feel it - as a girl, you can't really expect to go on stage and dress like a boy and jump around and scream with the audience and mosh and stuff, and every time that happens, I feel really proud."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I find a lot of inspiration through visuals. When I was 12, I saw Aurora's 'Runaway' music video. Something inside me clicked, like, 'That is what I want to do, no matter whether it goes anywhere or not.'"
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I really wanted to be a model when I was little. I loved photography, and I loved being on camera. But I was short and chubby, so I couldn't. Anyway, being an artist is way more interesting than just being a model because it's about you and what you want to be. You're not being treated like a clothes hanger."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"Smiling makes me feel weak and not in control and not powerful and small."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I've always liked being busy. If I have nothing to do for a week, it just makes me mad."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"In real life, I'm a really smiley person. I smile when I talk and I laugh."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I have so many designs and video ideas and lyrics in my head, so I always try to be productive."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I had a period in my life where I decided that I would never be bored again and that, if I had any free time at all, I would make plans, and I would always be doing things. It actually was great for a year or so, but then I lost all of my friends."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"There are alway going to be bad things. But you can write it down and make a song out of it."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I play piano and ukulele, and I taught myself those things just because I wanted to play them."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"I don't even call them fans. I don't like that. They're literally just a part of my life; they're a part of my family. I don't think of them as on a lower level than me. I don't think I'm anything but equal to all of them. So yeah, they're basically all of my siblings."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"When I do have free time, I spend it with friends, or I spend it at home writing or making something."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"Sometimes it's flattering when people copy you, but sometimes it gets to a breaking point."
Quote by -Billie Eilish
"It's really fun to put yourself into a character - into shoes you wouldn't normally be in."
