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.

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.

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
Image
I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.
Angel Olsen
Image
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 just want to scream: I'm being honest, I swear! Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.

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.

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

Different cultures have different audiences.

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.

Image
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
Image
There's a lot of expectation after you do something that seems to have been well received. It's kind of unfair.
Angel Olsen
Image
I'm letting the songs breathe and change and become what they are without force.

When people disappoint you, it's just as much your responsibility to be aware of it and what you don't want.
Angel Olsen
Image
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 don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.

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.

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
Image
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.

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