More quotes by Shirley Manson
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
I'm 41, I'm a woman, not a kid. I have no interest in making silly pop music.
Shirley Manson
Mozart was a punk, which people seem to forget. He was a naughty, naughty boy.
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
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
I just want to live my life a little freely and not adhere to any schedule - just make music and have fun.
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
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
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.
Shirley Manson
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
I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.
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 was always embarrassed because my dad wore a suit and my mother wore flat pumps and a cozy jumper while my friends' parents were punks or hippies.
Shirley Manson
I mean, I tend to do my own thing, and that usually crosses purposes with everyone around me.
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
I feel the same way I did when I was in school. I'm having the same insecurities.
Shirley Manson
I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.
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 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
