More quotes by Shirley Manson
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
I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.
Shirley Manson
It's unhealthy for people to never express any kind of negativity or doubt. To have balance, you need to address that side of your thoughts as well as the positive. Otherwise, you tend toward crazy.
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
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 mean, I tend to do my own thing, and that usually crosses purposes with everyone around me.
Shirley Manson
Somehow or another, my mother taught me to push through my fear, always. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
Shirley Manson
I think young artists are always inspiring because they are coming at worlds from a different point of view.
Shirley Manson
It's everywhere, constant criticism of women's appearance in magazines and online. It's not easy to navigate.
Shirley Manson
I think it's a great thing to have failed in life and then pulled yourself up by the boot straps and actually done something, because then you appreciate it more.
Shirley Manson
I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.
Shirley Manson
I want to hang out in Edinburgh with my friends and eat fish and chips wrapped in newspaper.
Shirley Manson
Pop music seems to be the way radio programming has chosen to support female artists. They have chosen not to support a more provocative voice from women, which I find disappointing.
Shirley Manson
Being a musician makes you very - musicians in general tend to be quite sensitive, I think, to the environment around them, which helps when you are trying to interact with others on screen, to be aware, to be sensitive, and to try to understand what's going on in the scene.
Shirley Manson
It's really difficult to navigate attention and stardom and celebrity status and still try to maintain yourself and hold onto your intelligence and integrity. It's really challenging.
Shirley Manson
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.
Shirley Manson
I plan on doing as much in my life as I possibly can.
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.
Shirley Manson
People don't associate red hair, pale skin, and freckles with beauty.
Shirley Manson
Obviously, from the experience you get from making videos, you understand where the camera is and how some of the actual technicalities work and so on and so forth.
