Shirley Manson of Garbage on...
Aaliyah: "I'm thirty-five. I turned thirty-five yesterday. . . . It was weird, because a lot of people have been saying to me, "Oooh, you can't be happy about it." And I was like,"You know what? I am happy about it." I went off on this rant about why are people so ashamed of getting older, and this is a triumph for me - I made it to thirty-five. And literally, about ten minutes after my rant, we got news of Aaliyah's airplane crash. It was like, I fucking rest my case. It was a very poignant piece of news to receive on what people considered to be a so-called difficult birthday for me."
Britney Spears: "I think falsity in itself has become almost as worthy as authenticity. Britney Spears has become revoltingly fake to such a degree that I kind of accept it now and see it in a pop-art sense. She's so gloriously naive, a cartoon."
*NSYNC: "...And 'NSync have become Andy Warhol's tomato-soup can. And I can buy into why people dig it. It's not my thing, but I think it's just as relevant in our culture as everybody mooing and cooing over Kid A."
Christina Aguilera: "...Yeah. But I better watch what I say, because Christina Aguilera's management has already threatened to take me to court because of supposedly unpleasant things I said about Christina in my Web diary. So I have to not make a further comment on Miss Aguilera. "
Outkast, Missy Elliot, etc: "[Question: Who do you think are the true talents working today in music?] Well, there's the obvious: PJ Harvey, BjÖrk, Missy Elliott, OutKast. Fiona Apple - I think her voice is one of the greatest of the last decade, an incredible voice that sounds as old as the grave."
These quotes were taken from the October 11, 2001 issue of Rolling Stone.
