Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.

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

People should know each other because they want to, because they have things in common.

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.

I'm not trying to prove that I'm capable of doing many things.

It's hard to force a relationship with a stranger even if they happen to be someone you happen to share blood with.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.
Angel Olsen
Image
I'm ready to take on different selves and experiment and see what happens.

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
Image
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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