entertainment">“If you film me long enough, you will see a lot of tics,” says the American world star in a new episode of the Netflix series My Next Guest Needs No Introduction from talk show icon Letterman. “I like to talk about it because it’s very interesting. And I’m all confused, I don’t understand,” Billie says of her tics.

entertainment">The multiple Grammy winner says the tics are “very exhausting” for her. “I don’t like it, but it’s part of me. I am at peace with it and now I am also confident about it.”

entertainment">At one point in the episode, Billie tilts her head to the side and opens her mouth, without saying anything. Letterman asks her if she saw a fly, but Billie replies that it was a tic, after which the host apologizes several times. However, according to the singer, not everyone handles it that way. “Most people laugh and think I’m trying to be funny. But it always hurts me a lot.”
