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.
From Shirley Manson
I don't find any kind of tension very productive, I find it destructive, actually.
I just want to live my life a little freely and not adhere to any schedule - just make music and have fun.
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.
I wanted to put out a solo record because I was stuck on a major label and sick of it.
I think women in pop have been declawed and defanged, and they're just meant to look pretty and sing pretty.
You don't really hear a female perspective on the radio, because so many of the songs are being written by men.
It's everywhere, constant criticism of women's appearance in magazines and online. It's not easy to navigate.
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.
I am greedy, and most importantly, game for what's next.
