More quotes by Shirley Manson

Shirley Manson
I want to hear from the creature who isn't blessed with unbelievable good looks and incredible genes. I want to hear from the geek girl, the forgotten girl, the invisible girl and the miserable girl.
Shirley Manson
Mozart was a punk, which people seem to forget. He was a naughty, naughty boy.
Shirley Manson
What makes a woman stylish is what she has to say and how she chooses to live her life.
Shirley Manson
Here am I. I'm 38. My career's probably never been better. And I've made a decision which may or may not impact on it - I refuse to hide my experience and my age, as if it's something I should be ashamed of. I'm alive. I know lots of people who've never been lucky enough to get to this stage in their life. And I'm not gonna hide it for anybody.
Shirley Manson

Shirley Manson
People don't associate red hair, pale skin, and freckles with beauty.
Shirley Manson
Everybody's trying to be the biggest, because if you're not the biggest, you don't survive.
Shirley Manson
I have women who offer to sleep with me all the time. But not men. They're all talk and nay action - as we'd say in Scotland.
Shirley Manson
Humans all want to beat the clock but nobody ever does.
Shirley Manson
Until we command the exact same salary as every male counterpart, I feel a political desire to stand by other women. If we don't stand together, that equality will never be fully realized, and that bothers me.
Shirley Manson
I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.
Shirley Manson
I just want to live my life a little freely and not adhere to any schedule - just make music and have fun.
Shirley Manson
When somebody asks me a question, I try to be as straightforward about it as possible. I try not to overthink what I'm going to say in an interview.
Shirley Manson
I am naive. I make mistakes - But I don't give a rat's arse how I am perceived!
Shirley Manson
I plan on doing as much in my life as I possibly can.
Shirley Manson
Possibly because I grew up not feeling very confident about my own physical appearance, I developed internal devices so that I could integrate into society.
Shirley Manson
I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.
Shirley Manson
You know, it doesn’t matter how beautiful you are, if you don’t have anything interesting to say, then you’re still boring.
Shirley Manson
