There's all these people who are incredibly vulnerable and would honestly do anything you say. That's a crazy feeling. Nobody should be given the power that we're [celebs] given.

Showing your body and showing your skin - or not - should not take any respect away from you.

It's all about what makes you feel good. If you want to get surgery, go get surgery. If you want to wear a dress that somebody thinks that you look too big wearing, f**k it - if you feel like you look good, you look good.

Getting recognized is insane. It just blows my mind. Like, someone who you don't know at all can just be like, 'Oh my God - are you Billie?

You know, it's infuriating. It's hard enough to be a young woman not in the public eye, and just have lots of public eyes looking at you ... let alone being famous and having a million people look at you constantly.

I really think the bottom line is, men are very weak. I think it's just so easy for them to lose it.

It's nobody's responsibility to cover themself or restrict or restrain themself for somebody else's, like, weak willpower. It's not our job.

Pirate was going to be my middle name, but then my uncle had a problem with it because pirates are bad.

I've been in the Los Angeles Children's Chorus since I was 8.

When I was four, I wrote a song about falling into a black hole.

I grew up on the Beatles; I love Linkin Park and Green Day. I heard hip-hop for the first time at 11 and realized what I was missing.

I think everybody deserves an equal amount of appreciation whether how old they are, but I mean, I'm cool with the praise. I'm good.

I used to write random little stupid things when I was five, but then the first song I really wrote was one called 'Fingers Crossed,' which is on SoundCloud.

What makes a song last is real content from a mind that is thinking a little bit harder about certain things. A lot of artists don't really think that hard.

Time is kind of an amazing thing because you can do so much with it. I think people underestimate time... I don't want to just sit on my phone for hours.

Sexism is everywhere, bro. I don't know if it's ever not somewhere.

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.

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.
