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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

When people disappoint you, it's just as much your responsibility to be aware of it and what you don't want.

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 just want to scream: I'm being honest, I swear! Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.

There's a lot of expectation after you do something that seems to have been well received. It's kind of unfair.
Angel Olsen
Image
A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.

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 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 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.

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

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

Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?
