More quotes by Shirley Manson
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.
Shirley Manson
The truth is, I've always been wracked with self-loathing and terrible, paralysing depression.
Shirley Manson
Humans all want to beat the clock but nobody ever does.
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
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've got a lot of stamina and I enjoy people, so having lots of people around doesn't freak me out.
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
Somehow or another, my mother taught me to push through my fear, always. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
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 mean, I tend to do my own thing, and that usually crosses purposes with everyone around me.
Shirley Manson
I feel the same way I did when I was in school. I'm having the same insecurities.
Shirley Manson
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.
Shirley Manson
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
I just want to live my life a little freely and not adhere to any schedule - just make music and have fun.
Shirley Manson
Mozart was a punk, which people seem to forget. He was a naughty, naughty boy.
Shirley Manson
I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.
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.
Shirley Manson
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.
Shirley Manson
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.
