- I'm Billie Eilish and I'm going to be playing
with puppies while I'm answering fans' questions.
(upbeat music)
Hello, oh, that baby.
Hello.
(Billie laughs)
Aw, they're so cute. (ball squeaks)
Okay, here's what's annoying.
I hate the color blue.
It's like my least favorite color.
I don't know how I ended up dying it blue.
And then I remember like, I just lived with it
for a while and then I was like,
I realized that I was somebody with colored hair.
I didn't clock that.
I had blue hair but I didn't think
I was someone with blue hair.
I just thought I had blue hair and I was me,
and then I realized like, when people walk by me
they probably were like, oh she has blue hair.
You know, as you do when you see somebody with colored hair.
I wanted to change it to like, dark gray.
I was told that whoever dyed my hair
in October used like a permanent blue.
So that (bleep) is not comin' out.
I have sat in that stupid salon chair
for hours and hours and hours and hours
and hours and hours and hours and hours
and hours and hours trying to get the blue out,
and that (bleep) will not get the (bleep) out of my hair.
You know what, lyrics are kind of
I think the hardest part for me.
Like, I'm better at melodies and chords.
But I'd say lyrics are probably like,
the thing that takes the longest, probably.
So it really depends.
I mean, I write songs starting with all kinds of things.
You could start with lyrics, it could start with melody,
chords, beat, whatever you want.
Hello pooper hair, hello little pooper face.
(laughs) I can't even think.
Six years ago I wanna say, or something,
I was in my house, home alone,
I was making a grilled cheese.
I was almost done, I was like
you know, getting everything ready.
I was like, wanted some avocado so I opened the fridge
and I was like, where are the avocados?
And in my head, I was like, ha,
that'd be funny if I made that my username,
and then I didn't even do it.
And then like a couple days later I was like,
what was that thing I said?
Where are the avocados?
That'd be funny as hell, so I made it my username.
I don't know, I'm hella nervous for Coachella, dude.
I've been having nightmares about it and (bleep).
It's gonna be crazy, it's gonna be super,
like, disorienting and (bleep) scary and (bleep).
I don't know, I hope it's just fun.
I don't want it to be like, boring,
or I don't want people just standing there,
I want people moving.
Who am I excited to see?
(bleep) I'm hyped to see Ariana.
Dude, she's so cool, bro, she's so cute.
She's so talented.
She's like one of the most talented people
I feel like in the world, like.
I'm not even gonna say female,
'cause people, one of the most talented females,
nah, that (bleep) is just a talented (bleep) god.
Who else is playing Coachella?
Me, I'm excited to see me.
Downtime, that's funny.
I don't have downtime.
I actually really like baking,
so I like baking cookies a lot.
Any sort of time to do anything
I just bake like peanut butter chocolate chip cookies
or the other day I baked buckeyes
which is like this peanut buttery thing
inside this like, chocolate ball.
Oh my god, it's fire.
I don't know, I was like, the worst.
That was like my worst phase.
I was just really annoying.
I feel like 13 is the worst age.
13 is just like, everything you do is annoying as hell
and everyone you know is horrible.
I'm trying to think, there have been
a lot of moments that I'll never forget.
Probably the Music MidTown in Atlanta.
It was like 40,000 people standing there
screaming all my lyrics that I wrote
in my bedroom like, years ago.
Everyone at the festival was at my show singing my lyrics.
It was unbelievable.
Okay, well.
My first song.
I wrote my (giggles) I wrote my first song (laughs)
I wrote my first song at like, 11,
and I wrote it about the Walking Dead.
That (bleep) was fire.
But actually, I wrote my first song when I was like four,
probably, on the ukulele and it was like,
oh come, what a wonderful life.
It goes,
♪ We lay all day in our comfy bed ♪
♪ What a wonderful life ♪
♪ We play outside in the green grass ♪
♪ What a wonderful life ♪
♪ We smell all the roses in the rosebush ♪
♪ What a wonderful life ♪
Yeah, that was probably the first one.
Oh yeah, I'm like, trying to do that now.
I've always loved fashion,
I've always loved the idea of doing that.
And like, since day one I've just like,
I've been the one that designs all my merch. (laughs)
I'm trying.
Obviously I have (bleep) to do now
so I don't have enough time to like, do that,
but it's everything I've ever made is still curated me.
It's all like, my ideas, my thoughts,
my everything, am I right?
(laughs) See, that's a good question
because favorite music to shoot?
None of them are very fun to shoot
because I've been doing some
dumb (bleep) to get a good video.
I've been putting spiders in my mouth and (bleep),
putting black ink in my eyes,
going upside down in the middle
of a dirty-ass, stinky-ass hotel.
That (bleep) smelled like doo-doo.
This baby boy.
(Billie speaking in gibberish)
Right now, Avril Lavigne.
(bleep) rocks harder than anyone.
Sk8er Boi, fire, that other one, fire.
I'm With You is fire, too.
Avril Lavigne goes hard, huh?
Oh my god, dude, I love the album.
I'm so glad that I love the album.
I just (sighs)
I'm so happy I do, 'cause it's so common
to not love the music that you make,
so I'm really happy I do.
But I feel like I have favorites for different moods.
I don't even know, I feel like my favorite one
I've written is probably i love you.
I love you.
(Billie giggles)
My favorite one, my favorite one to just listen to?
I love bury a friend, I love ilomilo.
I love bad guy, that shit is so fucking good.
They're all fire.
I get it, dude.
Understand that things pass, you know?
It'll get worse, also, but it'll also get better.
Like, things get really good but they also get really bad.
I feel like a big thing is like,
you just can't know everything.
I feel like everybody wants to know
the answers to what's gonna happen
and why we're doing the things we do
and where we go and like,
you just have to know that you can't know.
Know that you don't know, know that you can't know,
know that it will be okay and also it won't be okay.
But eventually it will and you'll stay breathing.
