Billie Eilish is spending her time self-isolating at home in Los Angeles during the COVID-19 crisis by fostering a pair of puppies and reducing her screen time.
“I’ve been really enjoying being alone … It’s been nice,” the 18-year-old singer said on the Telekom Electronic Beats podcast. “I feel like everybody on the Internet has been talking about, like, they’ve been on FaceTime all day long with their friends. I kind of have this feeling of… I love my friends, I can’t wait to see them, I do miss them a lot… but at the same time, I’m good. I’m good being alone. I like being alone.
“I haven’t had this time off since I was, like, 12.”
Eilish and her brother Finneas will appear April 18 on One World: Together At Home, a virtual concert curated by Lady Gaga. They were also a part of the iHeart Living Room Concert hosted by Elton John on March 29.
The "Bad Guy" singer believes life will get back to normal pretty quickly once the COVID-19 lockdown is lifted. "If I'm being real, I feel like as soon as we can see people again and go out, we're going to be so happy and grateful," said Eilish, "and in about three days we're all going to take it for granted again because that's the way people work, it's the way humans are made. You miss something so bad once you don't have it and you never think about it when you have it.
"It's crazy ... We never thought we would lose seeing our friends and going out and having fun. We never thought that we wouldn't be able to at a certain point. So hopefully people keep it in their minds... I hope we all just take it in more."
