I want to hang out in Edinburgh with my friends and eat fish and chips wrapped in newspaper.
Shirley Manson
Image
The sensation of never feeling good enough or pretty enough will always be there. It's a constant dialogue, and you just learn to be more powerful than that other voice. When you hear it come up, you shut it down.
Shirley Manson
Image
I have a lot of very close girlfriends and sisters - I'm from an all female family. My father often quips that even the cat was neutered!
Shirley Manson
Image
At the end of the day, though, the band members have to be strong. It's down to the individuals in the unit. Listen to me, I'm talking like I'm in the army and this is my squadron.

My solo album is dead and buried. We had the funeral. It was sad and I cried a lot but it made such a beautiful corpse that we had an open casket.

It is so hard for musicians when they step into acting is they're not coming in as a blank slate, they're coming in with a real set idea of who they are, where they're coming from, what their politics are, what their tastes are.

What makes a woman stylish is what she has to say and how she chooses to live her life.
Shirley Manson
Image
I've got a lot of stamina and I enjoy people, so having lots of people around doesn't freak me out.
Shirley Manson
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Everybody's trying to be the biggest, because if you're not the biggest, you don't survive.
Shirley Manson
Image
I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.
Shirley Manson
Image
I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.
Shirley Manson
Image
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
Image
I plan on doing as much in my life as I possibly can.
Shirley Manson
Image
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
Image
The truth is, I've always been wracked with self-loathing and terrible, paralysing depression.
Shirley Manson
Image
I'm 45 years old. I used to be a club girl, but that's not my world anymore. That doesn't mean I can't make music that excites. I think it's inspiring to see an artist you grew up with take another crack.
Shirley Manson

A lot of my friends are artists or musicians or single parent families and I'm totally aware of how difficult it is for them to make ends meet.
