In this week’s New York magazine, Evan Rachel Wood talks about her roles in The Conspirator and Mildred Pierce, as well as her relationship with her ex, Marilyn Manson:

“I didn’t really get a normal childhood,” says Wood. “Manson gave me what I felt I’d missed out on, where you get to experiment and cut loose and change and grow. I lived 50 lifetimes in those four years.”

Evan, who considers herself Jewish, was the daughter of a Jew (her mother) and a Christian (her father). She was homeschooled (earning her GED at 15), which might be why she considers her childhood non-traditional. In her early teens, she was described as “the sad, introverted teen”, on which she commented: “It’s just a type I enjoy playing. But I don’t want to be typecast as the misery chick for the rest of my career. I guess I have to watch out for that.”

Well, that’s not creepy at all, is it!?

The 23-year-old True Blood actress opens up to Nylon Magazine for their November issue. She talks about on-again, off-again boyfriend Marilyn Manson, doing nude scenes wanting to play Janis Joplin, and more! This is Evan Rachel Wood’s third time on the cover of Nylon.

The North Carolina native seemed like a perfect choice to star on our cover – both in her photos and her interview.  See snippets of both below, then get the entire story in our November issue, on stands tomorrow.

On Kate Winslet coaxing her into doing a nude scene:
“I always had a rule that I was only going to do topless and never the whole package, I have to have some kind of mystery! But she then explained to me what a merkin was…”

On Marilyn Manson
“I mean, dating Marilyn Manson… it’s kind of impossible to keep that out of the spotlight… He had a hand in raising me! Oh, I’m always gonna love that guy.  He’s a genius, he’s an amazing artist, we’re still friends.  Some things just aren’t meant to be.”

On her next musical role:
“I wanna play Janis Joplin.  Can I just claim that now please?… Across the Universe is not how I sing- that was very pretty.  I sing more like Janis, rough and loud.”

On George Clooney:
“He goes, ‘You’re really good at going from innocent to sexy in the drop of a hat,’ and I was like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

According to PEOPLE, Marilyn Manson and Evan Rachel Wood ended their engagement last week!

Manson hit L.A. hotspot Boudoir with some friends on Saturday night to blow off some steam. “They just broke off their engagement, and he needed a night out with friends,” says another source.

Manson proposed to Wood back in January during a performance in Paris. They originally began dating in 2006, but split two years later when Wood was rumored to have cheated with actor Shane West (pic below). They split – then reconnected in January when they became engaged.
