My first ever tour of my music was in the Netherlands. I didn't really have a grace period to grow or anything, people just started booking for me. I feel pretty lucky.

I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.
Angel Olsen

I'm letting the songs breathe and change and become what they are without force.

If you can't be psyched about your own thoughts, then how are you supposed to have a meaningful interaction with anyone?

I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.

I was adopted legally around age three, but it's not like this thing I think about when I wake up every day. I was adopted by my foster parents, so I was comfortable with them. I wasn't in this alien place.

I learned how to be more theatrical and have more fun, and to take a song and sing it over and over again in different ways, and make it different each time. I'm not just singing the song - it's this thing that's affecting me.

I'm sure that the meaning of the songs that I've written will change for me over the years, the same way that I can't even say what inspired some of the songs that I've been singing for a long time anymore.

People should know each other because they want to, because they have things in common.
Angel Olsen

I guess that in a lot of ways, my writing is more of a character to me than something that I feel personally attached to.

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
Image
I'm ready to take on different selves and experiment and see what happens.

Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.

I wasn't an only child, but I was the youngest, and no one else in my family played music.

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.

I feel really good about the future and working with people.

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.

I don't know what folk music means anymore, because the meaning of that just keeps changing.

I'm not trying to prove that I'm capable of doing many things.

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.
