Billie Eilishhas always known she wants to be a mom.
TheHappier Than Eversinger, who will turn 21 later this year, opened up in a recent interview withThe Sunday Times, where she admits she would “rather die” than not have kids.
“I need them,” she says before adding that she also “dreads” the idea. “The older I get, the more I experience things, I just think, what am I going to do when my kid thinks that this is the right thing to do and I’m, like, no, it’s not! And they won’t listen to me.”
Eilish goes on to say she has reached a point in her life where she feels “far more solid in who I am.”
“I feel different now, like I’m desirable,” she adds. “I feel like I’m capable of being as feminine as I want to be and as masculine as I want.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Eilish references the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting, saying, “You go to school and be prepared for a life-changing traumatic experience or dying. What? Where is the logic there?”
“The internet’s gone wild watching movie stars on trial,” she adds, seemingly nodding toDepp and Heard’s much-discussed court casebefore referencing the highly-publicized impending SCOTUS decision, “While they’re overturning Roe v. Wade.”

While performing at the Austin City Limits Festival in October 2021, Eilish spoke out onstage aboutTexas' controversial abortion law, which essentially bans abortions and deputizes private citizens to target anyone who assists in one. During her headlining set, she saidshe considered canceling the performancein order to “punish” the state.
The star then instructed her fans in the crowd to stick their hands up and show their middle fingers before saying, “My body, my f—ing choice!” A screen onstage behind her read: “Bans Off Our Bodies.”
