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

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

What makes a woman stylish is what she has to say and how she chooses to live her life.
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 just want to live my life a little freely and not adhere to any schedule - just make music and have fun.
Shirley Manson
Image
I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.
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.

I feel the same way I did when I was in school. I'm having the same insecurities.

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.

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.

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 am naive. I make mistakes - But I don't give a rat's arse how I am perceived!
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.

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

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.

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

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

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!
