More quotes by 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.
Angel Olsen
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!
Angel Olsen
Sometimes I'll hit a note and sometimes I don't. Why not at least try?
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
If you can't be psyched about your own thoughts, then how are you supposed to have a meaningful interaction with anyone?
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
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
Different cultures have different audiences.
Angel Olsen
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
I'm not trying to prove that I'm capable of doing many things.
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 wasn't an only child, but I was the youngest, and no one else in my family played music.
Angel Olsen
I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.
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'm ready to take on different selves and experiment and see what happens.
Angel Olsen
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.
Angel Olsen
I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.
Angel Olsen
Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.
Angel Olsen
I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.
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.
