Billie Eilish has said she sometimes feels trapped in the persona she has created because "people view me not as a woman".

Speaking to GQ magazine The Bad Guy singer said: "Here's a bomb for you: I have never felt desired. My past boyfriends never made me feel desired. None of them.

"And it's a big thing in my life that I feel I have never been physically desired by somebody. So I dress the way I dress as I don't like to think of you guys - I mean anyone, everyone - judging it, or the size of it.

"But that doesn't mean that I won't wake up one day and decide to wear a tank top, which I have done before.

"Sometimes I dress like a boy. Sometimes I dress like a swaggy girl. And sometimes I feel trapped by this persona that I have created, because sometimes I think people view me not as a woman.

"I have never felt powerful in a relationship. I did once and, guess what, I took advantage of that person's kindness. I wasn't used to it.

"It's been months and I am not attracted to people anymore. I don't know what's going on ... It's actually kind of dope."

The full feature is in the July/August issue of GQ.
