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.

I mean, I tend to do my own thing, and that usually crosses purposes with everyone around me.
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.

In terms of fitting in, you know, I don't have a lot of armor up. I'm a raw nerve and it's really uncomfortable for a lot of people.
Shirley Manson
Image
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.

It's everywhere, constant criticism of women's appearance in magazines and online. It's not easy to navigate.
Shirley Manson

If Jennifer Lopez could write songs like Fiona Apple's, she wouldn't have to spend so many hours at the gym.

Somehow or another, my mother taught me to push through my fear, always. Feel the fear and do it anyway.

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.
Shirley Manson
Image
I plan on doing as much in my life as I possibly can.
Shirley Manson
Image
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.

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.

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

Everybody's trying to be the biggest, because if you're not the biggest, you don't survive.
