A lot of my friends are artists or musicians or single parent families and I'm totally aware of how difficult it is for them to make ends meet.

I just want to live my life a little freely and not adhere to any schedule - just make music and have fun.

I plan on doing as much in my life as I possibly can.
Shirley Manson
Image
People don't associate red hair, pale skin, and freckles with beauty.
Shirley Manson
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've got a lot of stamina and I enjoy people, so having lots of people around doesn't freak me out.
Shirley Manson
Image
I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.

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