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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

I'm letting the songs breathe and change and become what they are without force.

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

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.

It's a bit of a weird thing to know that (my music) has translated to that many people.
Angel Olsen
Image
Music is the first thing I ever cared greatly about. I've been singing and writing songs since I was six or seven.

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.

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.
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.

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
People should know each other because they want to, because they have things in common.
Angel Olsen
Image
I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.
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.
