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
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. – 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
You have to watch all sides of your advancement, you have to make sure peoples bodies and minds are healthy and their morale is cool before you can really go out and play great music. – Shirley Manson
