Marilyn Manson talks about Evan Rachel Wood

Watching Marilyn Manson with his 19-year-old girlfriend, actress Evan Rachel Wood is like watching a car crash. It's sick, but you can't help but be intrigued by it. News of the pair's hook up first hit the rumor mill in January and since then Manson has released a video for his single "Heart-Shaped Glasses," which depicts them making love covered in blood.

Manson told Rolling Stone, "I had to have a drink with Evan's mother and father. The main thing that needs to be established is that I might share my life with her, but that does not incriminate her in my behavior…Basically, I'm not as bad in the way they'd like to think I am. But I'm bad in a different way. I'm always going to be bad."

The shock rocker also spoke about what he has gained from his relationship with Evan. He said, "For a while I felt completely alone and untethered. But now I feel like I've become me again. It's probably a curse, but I kind of like it." He claims that Evan has made him a better artist, stating, "Evan was a real catalyst to help me realize that I wasn't delivering the message that I always stood for. And if you were to speak about her talent and personality, she's the most unique, stand-alone person who doesn't need a relationship with me to further her career. If anything, I could only take away from it."
