Billie Eilish: "Nobody that knows me thinks I'm a dark person"

The multiple Grammy-nominee with the #1 hit "Bad Guy" says she is coming out of the "joyless" and "torturous" feeling that clinical depression and unwanted fame brought her. In this intimate conversation with "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King, Eilish and her brother, Finneas O'Connell, discuss the creative spirit behind her debut album, "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" (Originally broadcast on "CBS Sunday Morning" on December 8, 2019.)

Ariany Calixto I doubt her parents controlled her money for her. She most likely has financial advisers as anyone would of any age when you have THAT much money to handle and things to buy that the average person wouldn’t, but her parents and her seem to have the type of relationship where they wouldn’t “control” what she does with her money.

I love her honesty, and I love their duo! Something about them is very refreshing to see. They just love music and aren't fazed by all the fame crap.

[@gaaraluva3579]

It’s so refreshing to see how healthy her family life is

[@rsrey1]

Not sure I would call it healthy. It is responsive. Parents sleep in the living room? A little strange.

Ronda Reyna, Ph.D. She has a family who is receptive to her feelings and needs, who love her and aren’t using her as a child star to profit out of, they’re close and supportive, that’s healthy to me irrespective of their sleeping arrangement

i really love her music. a lot of my favorites are also the ones that make me feel the saddest, but mostly because I relate to them. and the sudden sweep of sadness or darkness is because I block out the things that I'm stressed over, the stuff that eats at me, and i don't even mean to block it out.

Depression is as real as it sounds. Trauma, substances, genes, environment, and paternal/maternal factors play a huge role. It can be caused by one of those things. And it's no fun life.

[@wilkensgarance]

Chris Baptiste And can for sure be heightened by hormonal changes, during puberty and other key moments in a persons life. Who didn’t go through their teens without those heightened emotion? The capacity to feel and express what ever we have inside in true genuine outings is one of the things that makes Billie stand out so much and speak to all of us.

[@3081e]

Absolutely. Anyways. For lyrics/poetry relating to this topic, check out poemsandsongsbychris on Instagram. I am an aspiring songwriter.🤘

@ST aLien that was my point. Sorry but I'm unsure what you're asking?

[@AI-ch3if]

Her involvement with the occult is no doubt a huge factor in her depression. Demonic oppression is no joke. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIK9o6mXg85plbM

[@jcextranow]

Whats so good about it is everything she has catapulted with her success has been done with the support of her family. She still has a sense of normalcy because her family is still so much involved with helping her to keep achieving great success and she doesn't outgrow them. That's humbling for her. Kudos to her brother.
