I'm 41, I'm a woman, not a kid. I have no interest in making silly pop music.
Shirley Manson

I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.

The sensation of never feeling good enough or pretty enough will always be there. It's a constant dialogue, and you just learn to be more powerful than that other voice. When you hear it come up, you shut it down.
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

It's everywhere, constant criticism of women's appearance in magazines and online. It's not easy to navigate.
Shirley Manson
Image
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
Image
I say embrace the total geek in yourself and just enjoy it. Life is too short to be cool.
Shirley Manson
Image
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
Image
I am naive. I make mistakes - But I don't give a rat's arse how I am perceived!

At the end of the day, though, the band members have to be strong. It's down to the individuals in the unit. Listen to me, I'm talking like I'm in the army and this is my squadron.

You know, it doesn’t matter how beautiful you are, if you don’t have anything interesting to say, then you’re still boring.

It is so hard for musicians when they step into acting is they're not coming in as a blank slate, they're coming in with a real set idea of who they are, where they're coming from, what their politics are, what their tastes are.

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

I've got a lot of stamina and I enjoy people, so having lots of people around doesn't freak me out.
