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.

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.

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

Image
It's very important to enjoy time alone with yourself and just existing, because existence is kind of cool.

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

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.
