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.

I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.

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.

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.

Mozart was a punk, which people seem to forget. He was a naughty, naughty boy.

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.

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

The truth is, I've always been wracked with self-loathing and terrible, paralysing depression.

I've got a lot of stamina and I enjoy people, so having lots of people around doesn't freak me out.

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.

I plan on doing as much in my life as I possibly can.
