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 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.

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.
Angel Olsen

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

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

Image
If you can't be psyched about your own thoughts, then how are you supposed to have a meaningful interaction with anyone?
Angel Olsen
Image
I don't know what folk music means anymore, because the meaning of that just keeps changing.
Angel Olsen
Image
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.
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.
Angel Olsen
Image
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.
