Success isn't a competition for Billie Eilish.

In an interview with The Los Angeles Times, the "Lunch" singer, 22, and Finneas opened up about watching her pop peers, including Charli xcx, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan, prosper in the music industry.

When asked about whether or not she felt threatened by how well the aforementioned rising artists were doing compared to her, Eilish showed her support for them.

“Are you kidding me?” she replied to the publication. “I’m so happy for these bitches. It’s a crazy world when you get to the level they’re experiencing right now, and they’re doing great. Fans are drawn to them because they’re f---ing awesome.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, the "Ocean Eyes" musician also opened up about her experience with fame and recalled an uncomfortable moment where a TSA agent was taking photos of her, which she described as "a power imbalance."

“You can’t say, ‘Don’t take a photo of me’ to TSA,” her brother, 27, said. “They’d be like, ‘Come into this room.’ They’re in charge.”

Adds Eilish, "These are the people who are supposed to keep you safe."

When the "Birds of a Feather" hitmaker was experiencing the height of fame, she didn't believe it would ever cool down: “I thought, this is just how my life is gonna be. I’ll never get to go outside again, and I’ll never feel like a person ever again. Every room is gonna be, ‘It’s Billie Eilish!’ and that’s gonna make me eventually kill myself.”

Ultimately, Eilish believes that boundaries between artists and fans have "been lost."

Finneas noted, “You look back at the Beatles, and it’s the same thing. It’s just that everybody has a camera now.”

When it comes to fame, the "Happier Than Ever" hitmaker has chosen to remain more private moving forward.

In the November cover story for Vogue, Eilish revealed that she regretted opening up about her attraction to women despite feeling "intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence" last year in an interview for Variety’s The Power of Women issue.

“I wish no one knew anything about my sexuality or anything about my dating life. Ever, ever, ever,” she told the publication. “And I hope that they never will again.”

Added Eilish: “And I’m never talking about my sexuality ever again. And I’m never talking about who I’m dating ever again.”
