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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I just want to scream: I'm being honest, I swear! Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.
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.

Image
I feel really good about the future and working with people.

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
Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.
Angel Olsen
Image
I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.
Angel Olsen
Image
I'm ready to take on different selves and experiment and see what happens.

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.

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.

It's a bit of a weird thing to know that (my music) has translated to that many people.

I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.
