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

What makes a woman stylish is what she has to say and how she chooses to live her life.
Shirley Manson

Possibly because I grew up not feeling very confident about my own physical appearance, I developed internal devices so that I could integrate into society.

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