I'm ready to take on different selves and experiment and see what happens.
Angel Olsen
Image
I'm letting the songs breathe and change and become what they are without force.

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
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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 know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.
Angel Olsen
Image
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.

Different cultures have different audiences.
Angel Olsen

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.

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

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

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

I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.

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

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