I want to hang out in Edinburgh with my friends and eat fish and chips wrapped in newspaper.

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.

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.

You know, it doesn’t matter how beautiful you are, if you don’t have anything interesting to say, then you’re still boring.

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.

Ps. I am pretty certain Beyonce doesn't need you fighting any battles on her account. Seems like she's got everything covered perfectly well on her own.

I just want to live my life a little freely and not adhere to any schedule - just make music and have fun.
Shirley Manson

I'm 41, I'm a woman, not a kid. I have no interest in making silly pop music.
Shirley Manson

I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.

Mozart was a punk, which people seem to forget. He was a naughty, naughty boy.

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.

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.

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.
