"I had taken some of my solo music into the record label. They didn't really care for the direction I was moving in and I found it really disheartening.

I just stopped writing. I just stopped. It was stifling."

-- Shirley Manson

“We invent mind-space inside our own heads as well as the heads of others ... we assume these 'spaces' without question. They are a part of what it is to be conscious. Moreover, things that in the physical-behavioural world that do not have a spatial quality are made to have such in consciousness. Otherwise we cannot be conscious of them.”
