Seeing her story played out onscreen was a “completely surreal” experience forBillie Eilish.
According to Eilish, it took her “like,six hours to get through itbecause we kept pausing it over and over and just screaming and running around.”
“It was crazy,‘cause they were filming mefor, like, three years, and I had no idea what they got on camera and what they didn’t,” she added.

While the project was “a dream” come true for the seven-timeGrammywinner, she was hesitant about seeing everything play out.
“I’m pretty much myself in front of the camera — I don’t really have a line, so I was pretty worried about what was gonna be in there,” Eilish toldEllen DeGeneres. “But I loved it. It was such an amazing, completely surreal thing that was created.”
Eilish previously opened up toStephen Colbertabout making the documentary, saying that while the recording process was “a bit invasive” at times, she said she was happy with how everything turned out.
“As human beings, we tend to feel pretty irrelevant all the time. Andeven though it was very invasiveand a lot at some point, and sometimes I just was like, ‘You gotta go,’ it was fun to have people that are literally there just to watch you live your life because there’s nothing like that,” Eilish said.

“It’s a weird way to live, but it was also fun and they were really respectful,” she added.
Eilish also opened up to Colbert, 56, about becoming an “accessible” artist to her fans — and that when she was younger, that was easy to do, but as she has gotten more famous, “it’s gotten really hard.”
“It’s not easy to be accessible to everyone, especiallybecause there are some creeps out thereso you want to be accessible to the good ones, but how are you going to be accessible if you’re not accessible to the bad ones?” she said. “You can’t have a bad moment. Doesn’t matter what you’re feeling because it’s their best moment.”
“I find myself like, ‘Oh my God, I don’t want to take a picture,’ and then I’m like, ‘You know what? You know how minor this is for me to doto make someone really happy?'” she added. “You forget that. That that moment means so much to those people. The smallest thing can mean the biggest thing.”
