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.

More quotes by 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
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
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
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
I want to hang out in Edinburgh with my friends and eat fish and chips wrapped in newspaper.
Shirley Manson
It's everywhere, constant criticism of women's appearance in magazines and online. It's not easy to navigate.
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
The truth is, I've always been wracked with self-loathing and terrible, paralysing depression.
Shirley Manson
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
I plan on doing as much in my life as I possibly can.
Shirley Manson
Somehow or another, my mother taught me to push through my fear, always. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
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
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.
Shirley Manson
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
Everybody's trying to be the biggest, because if you're not the biggest, you don't survive.
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
What makes a woman stylish is what she has to say and how she chooses to live her life.
Shirley Manson
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
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 am naive. I make mistakes - But I don't give a rat's arse how I am perceived!
Shirley Manson
