Billie: People are always expecting me to be rude to them. People are always expecting me to like, take off my pants in front of them.... Everyone's always got their guard up against me.
Interviewer: but you created that, surely you have to take responsibility for people seeing you that way.
Billie: Well yeah, but people don't have to be stupid enough to totally digest all of that.
Mike: Don't believe everything you see on tv. As for a live show, music does things to people.
Interviewer: I guess that's a function of our culture too. That you get a snapshot of someone and then you make the whole person about that one image.
Billie: Yeah, I mean there's different sides of the coin. It's not always tails.
