There's a lot of expectation after you do something that seems to have been well received. It's kind of unfair.
Angel Olsen

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.
Angel Olsen
Image
People should know each other because they want to, because they have things in common.
Angel Olsen

Music is the first thing I ever cared greatly about. I've been singing and writing songs since I was six or seven.

Image
Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?
Angel Olsen

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

If you can't be psyched about your own thoughts, then how are you supposed to have a meaningful interaction with anyone?
