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.

More quotes by Angel Olsen

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

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 don't know what folk music means anymore, because the meaning of that just keeps changing.
Angel Olsen
Image
I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.
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.
Angel Olsen
Image
It's a bit of a weird thing to know that (my music) has translated to that many people.
Angel Olsen
Image
I'm not trying to prove that I'm capable of doing many things.
Angel Olsen
Image
It's very important to enjoy time alone with yourself and just existing, because existence is kind of cool.
Angel Olsen
Image
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 feel really good about the future and working with people.
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 just want to scream: I'm being honest, I swear! Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.
Angel Olsen
Image
I'm letting the songs breathe and change and become what they are without force.
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.

Different cultures have different audiences.
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 listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.
