I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.

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.

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.

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

I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.
Angel Olsen

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

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

Different cultures have different audiences.

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.

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.

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.

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

In the music industry, it's pretty easy to make an album just because you want to keep going, like, 'This is the formula.' But the formula is your life. You have to live your life and you have to live it well - that's the formula.

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

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

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.
