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

I'm not trying to prove that I'm capable of doing many things.
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.

A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.

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

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.

When people disappoint you, it's just as much your responsibility to be aware of it and what you don't want.
Angel Olsen
Image
Different cultures have different audiences.
Angel Olsen
Image
I don't know what folk music means anymore, because the meaning of that just keeps changing.
Angel Olsen
Image
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.
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
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'm letting the songs breathe and change and become what they are without force.

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