I'm not trying to prove that I'm capable of doing many things.
Angel Olsen
Image
I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.
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
I'm ready to take on different selves and experiment and see what happens.
Angel Olsen
Image
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
Image
Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?

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.

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.

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

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 listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.
Angel Olsen
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'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
Image
I feel really good about the future and working with people.
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.
Angel Olsen
Image
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.

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

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.

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