“I’m comfortable with being as crazy or out of control as anyone likes to think I am because it suits me well. With meeting Evan Rachel Wood, who is my girlfriend now, we wouldn’t have been expected to have anything in common until we just became friends. I realised that besides the fact I’m clearly the immature one in the relationship, she’s a twin in a lot of ways and her personality reflects a lot of things I felt I wasn’t supposed to be. It was at that point I realised all hope wasn’t gone. I was fortunate enough to realise this without a moment of clarity that involved religion or sobriety or flowers and puppy dogs. It was bringing hellfire and the devil back into my life – how it was meant to be – that reminded me I’m perfectly capable of existing in a hell of my own making.” – goth guy Marilyn Manson, explaining to Metro.co.uk why he shot such an explicit video with his girlfriend.
