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 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
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!
Shirley Manson
Image
I want to hang out in Edinburgh with my friends and eat fish and chips wrapped in newspaper.
Shirley Manson
Image
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
Image
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
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
Image
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
Image
It's everywhere, constant criticism of women's appearance in magazines and online. It's not easy to navigate.
Shirley Manson
Image
A lot of my friends are artists or musicians or single parent families and I'm totally aware of how difficult it is for them to make ends meet.
Shirley Manson
Image
I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.
Shirley Manson
Image
I think young artists are always inspiring because they are coming at worlds from a different point of view.
Shirley Manson
Image
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'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
Image
I plan on doing as much in my life as I possibly can.
Shirley Manson
Image
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
Image
I've got a lot of stamina and I enjoy people, so having lots of people around doesn't freak me out.
Shirley Manson
Image
I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.
Shirley Manson
Image
I just want to live my life a little freely and not adhere to any schedule - just make music and have fun.
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.
