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.

More quotes by Angel Olsen
I just want to scream: I'm being honest, I swear! Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.
Angel Olsen
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
Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?
Angel Olsen
In high school I was in a band called Goodfight, but it was more me running around on stage. It was very punk inspired. Then I started to get into indie-rock and older music and decided I wanted to write my own stuff. I quit the band. Around 16 or 17, I started recording myself at home on keyboard and piano.
Angel Olsen
A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.
Angel Olsen
People should know each other because they want to, because they have things in common.
Angel Olsen
I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.
Angel Olsen
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
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.
Angel Olsen
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
I enjoy singing the songs a certain way, but I don't even know how the writing even began. To me, it's work that is kind of invisible it's a weird kind of work to have because you're not working, but it's not not work. Formulating your thoughts and making a melody that's catchy enough for people to listen to what you're saying is really hard!
Angel Olsen
Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.
Angel Olsen
Different cultures have different audiences.
Angel Olsen
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
I feel really good about the future and working with people.
Angel Olsen
It's very important to enjoy time alone with yourself and just existing, because existence is kind of cool.
Angel Olsen
I'm not trying to prove that I'm capable of doing many things.
Angel Olsen
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
I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.
Angel Olsen
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.
