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

People don't associate red hair, pale skin, and freckles with beauty.
Shirley Manson

Everybody's trying to be the biggest, because if you're not the biggest, you don't survive.
Shirley Manson
Image
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
Image
When somebody asks me a question, I try to be as straightforward about it as possible. I try not to overthink what I'm going to say in an interview.
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 am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.

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.
