I wasn't an only child, but I was the youngest, and no one else in my family played music.
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.

When people disappoint you, it's just as much your responsibility to be aware of it and what you don't want.
Angel Olsen

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

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

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.

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.

In a lot of senses, things are definitely changing in my life, and with what's going on around me. But I still feel like the writing process is as intimate as it as before, if not more. Because I need my time more than I had before.

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

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
Image
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.

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

A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.

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.

I feel really good about the future and working with people.
Angel Olsen
Image
I'm letting the songs breathe and change and become what they are without force.

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

There's a lot of expectation after you do something that seems to have been well received. It's kind of unfair.
