More quotes by Angel Olsen
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.
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
People should know each other because they want to, because they have things in common.
Angel Olsen
I don't know what folk music means anymore, because the meaning of that just keeps changing.
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
I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.
Angel Olsen
I'm ready to take on different selves and experiment and see what happens.
Angel Olsen
I wasn't an only child, but I was the youngest, and no one else in my family played music.
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.
Angel Olsen
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.
Angel Olsen
It's very important to enjoy time alone with yourself and just existing, because existence is kind of cool.
Angel Olsen
Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?
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
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
I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.
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
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
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.
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.

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