I think it's a great thing to have failed in life and then pulled yourself up by the boot straps and actually done something, because then you appreciate it more.

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

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
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.

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.

I have women who offer to sleep with me all the time. But not men. They're all talk and nay action - as we'd say in Scotland.
Shirley Manson
Image
I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.
Shirley Manson
Image
I plan on doing as much in my life as I possibly can.
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.

Image
Somehow or another, my mother taught me to push through my fear, always. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
Shirley Manson
Image
I think young artists are always inspiring because they are coming at worlds from a different point of view.

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

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

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.

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

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