"It's unhealthy for people to never express any kind of negativity or doubt. To have balance, you nee..." — 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.

I have a lot of very close girlfriends and sisters - I'm from an all female family. My father often quips that even the cat was neutered!

Until we command the exact same salary as every male counterpart, I feel a political desire to stand by other women. If we don't stand together, that equality will never be fully realized, and that bothers me.

I am a contradictory mess but I see it as my prerogative to change my mood like the weather.
