She added, “People could have done crazy shit, and I didn’t let them. It was many, many years of having to convince a room full of people that I was going to do what I knew was right for me. I had ideas; I had plans.”The singer then explained that while she may have had “plans,” it’s fine if others don’t. “But the thing is, people should know — women should know — you don’t have to be exceptional,” Eilish continued. “You can just be a person, and you should get awards for just being.

A couple of days went by, and I realized it was about me. It’s everything I feel. And it’s not just me — everyone feels like that, eventually.”
