My 90s Heroines - Shirley Manson, & Gwen Stefani!
"I used to torture myself because I thought I wasn’t pretty enough, that I wasn’t young enough, I wasn’t this or that enough. Now I’m like, fuck it."

"I feel like we’re living in a climate that is so conservative and so obsessed with being perfect and pretending. Nobody wants to be real and speak the truth because they’re all scared of imaginary repercussions. They’re scared they’ll make less money if they speak the truth. I read magazine after magazine, and every article is the same — all the artists speak in carefully edited, polite platitudes."

erfect thing to do after work tomorrow! :)
Shirley: I can remember the first time I saw you on MTV. I was feeling like hot shit because our record was doing well, and I remember seeing you and thinking, "I have no other competition - except for her."
Gwen: See, I was scared of you, because we're so opposite; in all your interviews you were so crazy, you'd say whatever you wanted. I'm so not confrontational and you're just, like, ready to go, any moment... That's what's so weird about actually knowing you; we get along, like perfect personalities. We were the only girls [in music] then... I just can't believe how long ago it was!
"I look at someone like Beyonce and I adore her, but I can’t possibly relate to her.”
“I feel there is a dearth of women who I can relate to and they are the women who tend to be the outsiders, the agitators, the rebels.” And it’s those outsiders that the title track of Garbage’s ‘Not Your Kind of Person’ is referring to."
