A lot of people these days are not music lovers – they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in. – Shirley Manson
I have a lot of very close girlfriends and sisters – Im from an all female family. My father often quips that even the cat was neutered! – Shirley Manson
I refuse to step inside the ring and fight like a gladiator against my own. Im not playing that game. Any woman who has survived a year or more of making music has my undying respect. – Shirley Manson
And then theres 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. Im always ready to fight. I see it very much as a battle. – Shirley Manson
