More quotes by Angel Olsen
I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.
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.
Angel Olsen
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
There's a lot of expectation after you do something that seems to have been well received. It's kind of unfair.
Angel Olsen
I feel really good about the future and working with people.
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
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.
Angel Olsen
It's very important to enjoy time alone with yourself and just existing, because existence is kind of cool.
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
I'm ready to take on different selves and experiment and see what happens.
Angel Olsen
If you can't be psyched about your own thoughts, then how are you supposed to have a meaningful interaction with anyone?
Angel Olsen
Different cultures have different audiences.
Angel Olsen
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.
Angel Olsen
I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.
Angel Olsen
Go and experience life the way that someone else might experience it. Maybe you'll find meaning in a different corner of your brain. The fact that it changed doesn't negate the fact that it ever mattered.
Angel Olsen
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.
Angel Olsen
I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.
Angel Olsen
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.
Angel Olsen
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.
