More quotes by Angel Olsen
I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.
Angel Olsen
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
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 know what folk music means anymore, because the meaning of that just keeps changing.
Angel Olsen
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
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
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.
Angel Olsen
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.
Angel Olsen
There's a lot of expectation after you do something that seems to have been well received. It's kind of unfair.
Angel Olsen
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
I feel really good about the future and working with people.
Angel Olsen
It's hard to force a relationship with a stranger even if they happen to be someone you happen to share blood with.
Angel Olsen
I just want to scream: I'm being honest, I swear! Maybe it's embarrassing, but I don't care anymore.
Angel Olsen
I'm not trying to prove that I'm capable of doing many things.
Angel Olsen
People are buying more vinyl now than they did in the late '90s or 2000s. I like having different mediums of the record. It's always interesting to see how the tapes end up looking because they are so tiny.
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.
Angel Olsen
I'm ready to take on different selves and experiment and see what happens.
Angel Olsen
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.
Angel Olsen
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.
Angel Olsen
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.
