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.

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
It's very important to enjoy time alone with yourself and just existing, because existence is kind of cool.
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

I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.
Angel Olsen

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.
