I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.
Shirley Manson

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.

Shirley Manson

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

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

I am naive. I make mistakes - But I don't give a rat's arse how I am perceived!
Shirley Manson
Image
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.
