Nineteen year-old actress Evan Rachel Wood who’s seedy affair with Marilyn Manson that was rumored to have soured his short-lived marriage to dancer Dita Von Teese captivates the pages of Arena magazine; opening up about love, being a teenager and her music career.
ERW on her future music career:
“I’m probably more passionate about music than acting, but I don’t want to do it half-assed. And when I do, I get to deal with the rumours flying around that my boyfriend wrote all my songs and that I’m just using him for a singing career! Won’t that be great?”
ERW on life as a teenager in this day and age:
“You know everyone’s so worried about teenagers, sex, STDs — just talk to them! Educate them! I keep putting down MTV, it’s not solely their fault, but there’s not really any music on it any more. We did our music video and it was banned. And then I turn on The Real World or something, and it’s full of people getting drunk, having sex and not even remembering it the next day, and they act like it’s no big deal. It’s stupid.”
