People don't associate red hair, pale skin, and freckles with beauty.
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.

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 a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.
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.
Shirley Manson

I mean, I tend to do my own thing, and that usually crosses purposes with everyone around me.
Shirley Manson
Image
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
Image
It's everywhere, constant criticism of women's appearance in magazines and online. It's not easy to navigate.
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.

Humans all want to beat the clock but nobody ever does.
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.
