In Rolling Stone magazine, Billy said of Jessica “My goal in life is to love whoever I think is worth loving, and I think if people knew her like I knew her, they would love her like I do. It’s really simple,”

As for Jessica, she is grateful for her friendship with Billy, “For him to give his time and his talents and share them with me. It was a great experience and I hope we can do more music together.”
