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.

Somehow or another, my mother taught me to push through my fear, always. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
Shirley Manson

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.
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.

What makes a woman stylish is what she has to say and how she chooses to live her life.
Shirley Manson
Image
I mean, I tend to do my own thing, and that usually crosses purposes with everyone around me.
Shirley Manson
Image
I just want to live my life a little freely and not adhere to any schedule - just make music and have fun.
Shirley Manson
Image
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
