Billie Eilish, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, recently made an appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” to talk about her early career, her dream role, and her experiences performing in front of large crowds.
During the show, James Corden asked Billie about her first-ever television debut, which happened when she was just 15 years old. Billie admitted that she was very nervous on that day and felt sick, saying, “Everything I did I was sick. My voice was kind of messed up and I was really nervous. I just wanted to do a good job.”
Despite her nerves, Billie went on to become a huge success, winning multiple Grammy Awards and becoming one of the most popular and influential artists of her generation.
James also played a video clip from Lollapalooza, showcasing the massive crowd, and asked Billie how she connects with such a large audience. Billie admitted that it can be difficult to connect with so many people at once, but she enjoys playing at festivals and puts in extra effort to make the shows memorable.
“I like to go out on the thrust, which is the catwalk thing, and I’ll look back at the stage and I will see myself on the giant IMAX and it feels like I’m really at the show and I’m like in the audience and watching me on stage,” Billie said.
Billie also revealed that her dream role was to act in a movie directed by Donald Glover, whom she considers her “all-time hero, lifelong hero.” While Billie has focused primarily on music in recent years, she said she would love to pursue acting in the future and hopes to work with Glover someday.
Finally, Billie discussed her creative process, revealing that she and her brother Finneas have been making music in the basement studio of his house. She said that every time they make a new album, it’s a unique and different experience, and they can never recreate the same thing twice.
“It’s very different this time. It’s proven to be different every single time. It’s weird. Every time, I’m like I’ve got it, I know exactly how to do it this time, you know it worked last time, I’m going to do it again and I can never recreate anything,” she said.
Overall, Billie’s interview with James Corden provided fans with a glimpse into her early struggles and her current creative process. With her music and her unique perspective on the world, Billie has become a beloved figure in the entertainment industry and continues to inspire fans around the globe.
