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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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
Image
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
Image
I was a redhead and a middle child both can make you feel excluded. It's like fighting to be included, in the swim of things. After a while you start to develop a bit of a victim mentality, which isn't great for a happy life.

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

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

The truth is, I've always been wracked with self-loathing and terrible, paralysing depression.

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

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

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

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.
Shirley Manson
Image
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!

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.
