"“My generation and the generations below, we love to film stuff,” Eilish said while promoting her new concert movie. “All I do is film stuff and take pictures of everything all the time.”"
"“I guess some people do it for clout or whatever, but who cares?” she continued. “It's like you want to share what you experience. And for me, I mean, when I would go to concerts or festivals, I would film every single minute of it, and you know what I would do? I would watch every single video that I took over and over and over and over until I had this audio of the crowd memorized.”"
"“It's an important part of the culture that we are all on our goddamn phones and it keeps us connected, you know? It does. It's like yes, there are huge cons and social media is dark, but we get to share through the internet - and I wouldn't have a career without the internet. I wouldn't have fans. I wouldn't have the connection that I do without the internet to them.”"
