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 sometimes write as if I were talking to myself, or to a mirror, or to someone for the last time. There's this element of confrontation.

I'm not trying to prove that I'm capable of doing many things.
Angel Olsen
Image
Music is the first thing I ever cared greatly about. I've been singing and writing songs since I was six or seven.
Angel Olsen

It's a bit of a weird thing to know that (my music) has translated to that many people.

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!

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.

You want to create things as purely as possible without allowing the universe to interfere so much that it's manipulating it and making things unreal to you.

A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.

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

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 just want to scream: I'm being honest, I swear! Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.
Angel Olsen
Image
I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.

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

Different cultures have different audiences.

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

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 guess that in a lot of ways, my writing is more of a character to me than something that I feel personally attached to.
Angel Olsen
Image
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 ready to take on different selves and experiment and see what happens.

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.
