I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.
Angel Olsen
Image
Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?
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.

When people disappoint you, it's just as much your responsibility to be aware of it and what you don't want.
Angel Olsen
Image
Go and experience life the way that someone else might experience it. Maybe you'll find meaning in a different corner of your brain. The fact that it changed doesn't negate the fact that it ever mattered.

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.

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.

I don't know what folk music means anymore, because the meaning of that just keeps changing.
Angel Olsen

I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.
Angel Olsen
Image
I just want to scream: I'm being honest, I swear! Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.

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 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.

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

People are buying more vinyl now than they did in the late '90s or 2000s. I like having different mediums of the record. It's always interesting to see how the tapes end up looking because they are so tiny.
Angel Olsen
Image
I'm ready to take on different selves and experiment and see what happens.
Angel Olsen
Image
There's a lot of expectation after you do something that seems to have been well received. It's kind of unfair.

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