INTERVIEW WITH SHIRLEY
Shirley Manson Opens Her Mouth
From Q Magazine, March 1999
Eight million album sales and being chatted up by Brad Pitt haven't made Shirley Manson happy. Would you be if you couldn't find the fork drawer and journalists said you had a big forehead? "I'm charming and sweet and lovely," she warns Tom Doyle, "but I have a short fuse."
"Beautiful? beautiful? beautiful? fucking disgusting?"
You've described your childhood as "fucking horrible" and yourself as a "fucking horrible child". Why is that?
Shirley Manson:This has been a source of great angst for my parents. They get really distressed by the fact that I've said I was unhappy as a child. But it's no reflection on them. Between the ages of 11 and 15, I had a really bad temper, I was really angry for no apparent reason. I was really jealous of my little sister, I was really violent. I stopped going to school and I got into boys and drink and drugs. You name it, I was doing it.
You say you've had a lot of problems with your looks, but you became a model for teenage magazines, didn't you?
Shirley Manson:Well I wasn't really a "model" and, actually, I've never spoken about this. At the time - and again I use this phrase loosely and in inverted commas - I had a "unique look" (laughs). I got spied by somebody at DC Thompson who ran Jackie magazine and the money was really really good. I mean, as I recall, we got a hundred quid an hour and that was ten years ago. A lot of money, so of course I did it.
You've said that you initially got into music "for the sex".
Shirley Manson:Well, there's very few musicians out there who'd argue with that statement. Being an active musician is a powerful aphrodisiac to most men and women.
"She said she'd shag me if she had to? In your dreams, baby."
Butch Vig
"When I first met her, I was terrified of her. She was pretty opinionated and vocal. She says that she was terrified too, but you would never have known it. She had confidence. I couldn't understand half of what she was saying. A lot of times, she would be singing in the studio and she'd say something and Duke, Steve and I would look at each other and it was (whispers) What did she say?
"Shirley can be really flippant and irrational as hell. But she has a really strong persona and I really can't imagine how Garbage would've worked with anyone else."
Duke Erikson
"It's very weird but when I first met Shirley, I felt that I had known her before. Of course I didn't tell her that. Three or four months later I told her and she said, Yeah, I felt the same way, it's very bizarre.
"She has very hard and fast opinions. I wasn't ready for that part. Initially it was hard to get through the accent. When we were first working together she would say something and I'd have to have her repeat it three times. By that time, she'd just say, Fuck off. I understood that."

GARBAGE CREATED;
They were Butch,Steve and Duke at first.In 1994 they needed a female for the group and so Shirle left "Angelfish" and came to the Garbage.
THEY GOT THIS CRAZY NAME ;
(Thanks for Krunk)
Krunk:I'll let Butch answer this one:
"This friend came to the studio to play some percussion on the remix of a Nine Inch Nails track, and when he saw all the loops that I had going around the desk he said, 'Man, this fuckin' shit looks like garbage to me, do you know what you're doing?' So I said, 'I'm not too sure, but we're gonna turn this garbage into a song at some point.' We kind of liked the name because it could just be a blend of all sorts of trash and stuff."
