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

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.

The truth is, I've always been wracked with self-loathing and terrible, paralysing depression.
Shirley Manson
Image
I am naive. I make mistakes - But I don't give a rat's arse how I am perceived!
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.
