Shirley Manson Quotes

You have to watch all sides of your advancement, you have to make sure people’s bodies and minds are healthy and their morale is cool before you can really go out and play great music Picture Quote #1

Possibly because I grew up not feeling very confident about my own physical appearance, I developed internal devices so that I could integrate into society Picture Quote #1

I am not a sexy woman, I’m not beautiful, I’m not a sex kitten, I don’t flirt with people, yet I’ve been tagged more of sex symbol than women who truly are and I that’s solely because I don’t reveal too much: people are curious Picture Quote #1

I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather Picture Quote #1

I refuse to step inside the ring and fight like a gladiator against my own. I'm not playing that game. Any woman who has survived a year or more of making music has my undying respect Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

One day I realized that it didn’t matter whether people loved me or not Picture Quote #1

I had taken some of my solo music into the record label. They didn’t really care for the direction I was moving in and I found it really disheartening. They wanted a pop hit, which I understand in terms of making money. I get that. But what they were going to ask of me was something I wasn’t prepared to deliver and I felt kind of trapped. I just stopped writing. I just stopped. It was stifling Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t say that cutting was pleasurable, but there is a sense of euphoria that follows cutting yourself. The quick pinch of pain and the sight of blood snaps you back to the surface and you start to appreciate being alive Picture Quote #1

And then there's all these other creeps that surround your band and suck off you like leeches and try to manipulate you and your business. You have to watch like a hawk. I'm always ready to fight. I see it very much as a battle Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

It’s a torturous time when you learn almost everything you really have to know about survival. The important thing to remember when you are living through it, however, is that you have absolutely no idea quite how smart and strong and beautiful the pain will make you. So go forth and suffer... you’ll rule the world Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You don’t really hear a female perspective on the radio, because so many of the songs are being written by men Picture Quote #1

My solo album is dead and buried. We had the funeral. It was sad and I cried a lot but it made such a beautiful corpse that we had an open casket Picture Quote #1

It’s everywhere, constant criticism of women’s appearance in magazines and online. It’s not easy to navigate Picture Quote #1

In terms of fitting in, you know, I don’t have a lot of armor up. I’m a raw nerve and it’s really uncomfortable for a lot of people Picture Quote #1

I wanted to put out a solo record because I was stuck on a major label and sick of it Picture Quote #1

I think young artists are always inspiring because they are coming at worlds from a different point of view Picture Quote #1

I’ve got no timetable. I’m sort of sick of timetables, to be honest Picture Quote #1
