A May Cover Girlie Serving Chaos, Candor & Cosmic Energy
Billie Eilish side‑stepped over, taking a sit for ELLE’s “Ask Me Anything.”
Miss Billie Eilish shares wild experiences, dating a Gemini, recording voice memos around the house, and taking inspiration from films like Spirited Away.
But this episode goes deeper — and funnier — than the usual promo‑cycle chat.
Billie opens with a confession that changed her entire worldview: “I met a Gemini man and I dated his ass… and then I believed in astrology.” From there, she spirals into a cosmic roast only Billie could deliver: Girl Geminis = life of the party. Male Geminis = go to hell.
She also talks about being a Sagittarius, describing the sign with her signature bluntness: “Loud, stubborn, obnoxious, bossy, funny, insane, sexy, good in bed… a little flaky.”
When asked about her creative process, Billie reveals her favorite ritual: listening to new music in the car, or placing her phone in the middle of a room to record voice‑memo ambience — then replaying it obsessively. It’s her “favorite thing in the world to do.”
She confirms the new album is more than halfway done, and opens up about the sibling dynamic with Finneas — writing, recording, playing pickleball, walking the dog, then recording again — all with zero hard feelings because they’re siblings who can say anything to each other.
Billie also shares the unexpected spark behind her song “Chihiro” — written from the perspective of the character in Spirited Away, born from a spontaneous moment while singing.
She calls “Birds of a Feather” a major musical risk she’s glad she took, and lists her current heavy‑rotation tracks: Billie Holiday’s “I’ll Be Seeing You,” Enya’s “Caribbean Blue,” and Elliott Smith’s “Twilight.”

Then comes the James Cameron moment. Billie reveals he’s co‑directing her concert film, and when asked about her favorite Cameron movie, she deadpans: “Avatar 3, cuz that was fire.” She gushes about the Avatar ride at Disney World — especially the part where the “dragon” breathes beneath you — and admits her literal dream in life is to own a dragon.
She also breaks down her on‑stage “toaster” move, explaining how one wrong lean would send her flying off the B‑stage into the audience, so she’s perfected a glute‑powered squat to stay safe.
Her most magical fan moment? Hanging halfway out of the car window after shows, screaming, waving, touching hands, and watching fans run alongside the car. She calls them “so precious” and says she couldn’t love them more.
Billie also reveals she’ll never wear fur, binged all of Girls in one week while redoing her closet, and recently saw Paul McCartney at the Fonda — calling it “insane” and “magical.”
And in true Billie fashion, she ends with a hill she’s willing to die on: “Eating meat is inherently wrong… You can love animals or eat meat, but you can’t do both.”
