I'm ready to take on different selves and experiment and see what happens.
Angel Olsen
Image
I sometimes write as if I were talking to myself, or to a mirror, or to someone for the last time. There's this element of confrontation.

Image
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.

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
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.

Image
It's hard to force a relationship with a stranger even if they happen to be someone you happen to share blood with.
Angel Olsen
Image
I'm letting the songs breathe and change and become what they are without force.

I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.
Angel Olsen
Image
I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.

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

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.
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
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.

Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.
Angel Olsen
Image
I feel really good about the future and working with people.
Angel Olsen
Image
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.
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
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.
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.

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