Shirley Manson
Image
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.
Shirley Manson
Image
I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.
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
It's unhealthy for people to never express any kind of negativity or doubt. To have balance, you need to address that side of your thoughts as well as the positive. Otherwise, you tend toward crazy.
