Go and experience life the way that someone else might experience it. Maybe you'll find meaning in a different corner of your brain. The fact that it changed doesn't negate the fact that it ever mattered.

More quotes by Angel Olsen
In high school I was in a band called Goodfight, but it was more me running around on stage. It was very punk inspired. Then I started to get into indie-rock and older music and decided I wanted to write my own stuff. I quit the band. Around 16 or 17, I started recording myself at home on keyboard and piano.

In a lot of senses, things are definitely changing in my life, and with what's going on around me. But I still feel like the writing process is as intimate as it as before, if not more. Because I need my time more than I had before.
Angel Olsen
I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.
Angel Olsen
My family life, my adoption - it could be related to the songs, but I think the songs are deeper than that. They're not just about this experience.
Angel Olsen
There's a lot of expectation after you do something that seems to have been well received. It's kind of unfair.
Angel Olsen
People should know each other because they want to, because they have things in common.
Angel Olsen
I wasn't an only child, but I was the youngest, and no one else in my family played music.

People are buying more vinyl now than they did in the late '90s or 2000s. I like having different mediums of the record. It's always interesting to see how the tapes end up looking because they are so tiny.

If, you know, all your life you're making films or whatever, and somehow along the way you lose meaning in whatever you're doing when you're making the films, they're just not the same as they used to be to you. That doesn't mean your life is over it just means maybe go try to live a different life.
Angel Olsen
Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.
Angel Olsen
A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.
Angel Olsen
It's very important to enjoy time alone with yourself and just existing, because existence is kind of cool.
Angel Olsen
I just want to scream: I'm being honest, I swear! Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.
Angel Olsen
The family that raised me are awesome people and they are my mother and my father and my brother and my sister. I've never viewed them as these strangers that took over. It's never been this crazy, dramatic, Lifetime-movie situation. It's been chill.
Angel Olsen
You get to a certain age and it really occurs to you: My mother and my father will not always be here. My spouse or my girlfriend or boyfriend are here right now, but someday they won't be. You realize that you need to like yourself.
Angel Olsen
It's hard to force a relationship with a stranger even if they happen to be someone you happen to share blood with.
Angel Olsen
I enjoy singing the songs a certain way, but I don't even know how the writing even began. To me, it's work that is kind of invisible it's a weird kind of work to have because you're not working, but it's not not work. Formulating your thoughts and making a melody that's catchy enough for people to listen to what you're saying is really hard!
Angel Olsen
I'd rather people interpret the songs and get whatever they can out of them instead of thinking about me crying in a room with a guitar.
Angel Olsen
Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?
Angel Olsen
I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.
