It's everywhere, constant criticism of women's appearance in magazines and online. It's not easy to navigate.
Shirley Ann Manson Angelfish -
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.

I am naive. I make mistakes - But I don't give a rat's arse how I am perceived!

Starbucks is my main fix and it's usually you people working in there - sometimes they're actually shaking. It just makes me feel horrendous because I've been in that situation.

I want to hang out in Edinburgh with my friends and eat fish and chips wrapped in newspaper.

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.

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.

I'm fairly in control and I don't like to flirt particularly. I mean, obviously if I meet someone who I think is hot, of course I'll want to flirt with him, But in general I don't use it in day-to-day life.

I want to hear an alternative viewpoint, and I don't want girls to be defanged and declawed and pretty and mute.

I've always been an outsider. I am an outsider in Garbage. I'm the odd one out by default.

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.

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.
Shirley Ann Manson Angelfish -
I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.
Shirley Ann Manson Angelfish -
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.

We're living in a time when people are struggling to appear perfect.
Shirley Ann Manson Angelfish -
I feel privileged, to be honest.

Being a singer, being a performer, you have tricks, somehow, to calm yourself when things feel a little overwhelming. I don't do breathing exercises, per se, but I definitely have to have a sort of internal word with myself before things got completely out of hand and I fainted on the floor.
