More quotes by Shirley Manson
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.
Shirley Manson
Mozart was a punk, which people seem to forget. He was a naughty, naughty boy.
Shirley Manson
I was always embarrassed because my dad wore a suit and my mother wore flat pumps and a cozy jumper while my friends' parents were punks or hippies.
Shirley Manson
I mean, I tend to do my own thing, and that usually crosses purposes with everyone around me.
Shirley Manson
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.
Shirley Manson
Until we command the exact same salary as every male counterpart, I feel a political desire to stand by other women. If we don't stand together, that equality will never be fully realized, and that bothers me.
Shirley Manson
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.
Shirley Manson
The truth is, I've always been wracked with self-loathing and terrible, paralysing depression.
Shirley Manson
I want to hang out in Edinburgh with my friends and eat fish and chips wrapped in newspaper.
Shirley Manson
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
It's everywhere, constant criticism of women's appearance in magazines and online. It's not easy to navigate.
Shirley Manson
I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.
Shirley Manson
It's really difficult to navigate attention and stardom and celebrity status and still try to maintain yourself and hold onto your intelligence and integrity. It's really challenging.
Shirley Manson
I am laughably aggressive, and the rest of the band is very laid back, so we mix well.
Shirley Manson
Everybody's trying to be the biggest, because if you're not the biggest, you don't survive.
Shirley Manson
I plan on doing as much in my life as I possibly can.
Shirley Manson
I want to hear from the creature who isn't blessed with unbelievable good looks and incredible genes. I want to hear from the geek girl, the forgotten girl, the invisible girl and the miserable girl.
Shirley Manson
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.
Shirley Manson
Ps. I am pretty certain Beyonce doesn't need you fighting any battles on her account. Seems like she's got everything covered perfectly well on her own.
Shirley Manson
Humans all want to beat the clock but nobody ever does.
