Favorite Quotes from Billie Eilish
“In the public eye, girls and women with strong perspectives are hated. If you’re a girl with an opinion, people just hate you. There are still people who are afraid of successful women, and that’s so lame.”
“I hate smiling. It makes me feel weak and powerless and small. I’ve always been like that; I don’t smile in any pictures.”
“There are always going to be bad things. But you can write it down and make a song out of it.”
“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.”

Tips for success from Billie Eilish
- The world doesn’t want women to have an opinion. You should have a strong opinion and hold to it tightly. People are afraid of women who know what they want. Use that fear to get what you want and scare them.
- People might hate what you do. They might hate your art, they might hate your clothing, they might hate everything about you. Hold this close to your heart: no one’s opinion matters except for your own.
- It is flattering when people copy you, but only to a point. If you like what someone is doing, appreciate it by doing it in your own way and not completely copying them.
