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

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

It's very important to enjoy time alone with yourself and just existing, because existence is kind of cool.

'Sweet Dreams' is such a dark-sounding song, but it's about not taking anything for granted; share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.

From Angel Olsen

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

From 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.

From 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!

From 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.

From Angel Olsen

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.

From Angel Olsen

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.
