Evan Rachel Wood opened up to the Daily Mail about her relationships, choosing films, nudity and even Justin Bieber.

On her claim to fame, acting on the movie ‘Thirteen’ in which she acted as an adolescent who made her way to self-destruction.

“It blew open the doors. I don’t have to audition anymore.”

“Now I’m a snob when I’m choosing films.”

On posing nude on a movie:

Kate Winslet convinced and told her, ‘Look, I’ve done every kind of nudity you could possibly do. Trust me, you won’t regret it. She was literally next to the camera giving me thumbs up all the time.”

She originally planned to back out. She said, “I’m not shy and I have done nudity before, but I never showed everything like I did this time, and was very nervous. I was not even sure I was going to do it when I signed on the part. I was planning on chickening out.”

On working with George Clooney:

“He’s ridiculously generous. I was not intimidated because he’s easy to work with and such fun. He took us to see big bands, musician whose played with Ella Fitzgerald and Rosemary Clooney. And when my dad came to visit, he took us all out for dinner.”

Having a boyfriend like Marilyn Manson seems so normal:

“That’s because we look so different, but if you’d hang out with us you’d have thought we were pretty normal.People look at Marilyn and they form an opinion, but we did normal things – I cooked dinner. I’m always going to love him. We were engaged. But we are both ready to move on. Marilyn gave me permission to be myself. He said, ‘You’re so young, you’re really smart, explore that, have fun.”

On being confident with your own skin:

“I’m happy with the way I look, but I grew up really skinny and awkward and gawky.You just learn how to work with and what you’ve been given. I look at people I find incredibly sexy, like Tilda Swinton, and it’s not the way they look, it’s the way they carry themselves and their presence that makes them so attractive.”

She is quite attracted to British men:

“There’s something about british men that I love. They’re very charming and well-mannered. Jamie and I lived together in Potters Bar. I feel comfortable in England. All my friends say to me, ‘What is it with you, British people? Everytime I go out on a date, he’s British. I don’t have rules of dating guys or girls – I’m open, as I have been attracted to both sexes.”

She has a type and that is, older men:

“Right now, 30 is the cut off. But I have stayed single since last Summer. I was in relationship after relationship and everyone always told me, ‘You need to spend time alone and get to know yourself.’I was terrified of doing that, but now I’m so glad that I have taken this time. I’m not worried about pleasing somebody else constantly – it’s just about taking care of myself.”

Twenties is the time you explore:

“That’s what your supposed to do. I think I was making up for last time when I started dating Marilyn. I was just experiencing life and I was trying everything: touring with a rock band, try different looks, exploring who I was as a woman. I rocked out – literally, because I never wanted to look back and wish when I was young I’d just gone for it and hopped on that tour bus.

Don’t overthink  lines:

“Robert Redford – who even at 75 is still really sexy- asked me how I never forgot a line, and I said I never study them, because then I over think them and then I start messing them up.So the less I read them, the better I am.”

She’s a fan of Justin Bieber:

“I know, – I’m the last person in the world who you’d expect to like him. I made fun of him, I thought he was ridiculous, and then I went to see his film, Never say Never and I was changed. I’m listening to him all the time now, and I’m telling you, his music is brilliant.”

On rejection:

“When I was five I auditioned for Neil Jordan’s Interview with the Vampire with Tom Cruise. I lost out to Kirsten Dunst, I was heartbroken. But that’s when I learned how to deal with disappointment.It made me stronger and I never got upset like that again.”

Evan is a good girl when she was young:

“Thirteen showed another side of life that I was seeing as a teenager. It showed what teenagers were really getting up to away from their parents. I was not doing any drugs or drink depicted in the film, I was really a depressed teenager and I would sit in my room and listen to a lot of Nirvana. It was hard for me to relate to people my own age, because I’d been acting for so long and I’d been in the adult world. I thought there was no one out there for me.I felt pressured from girls my own age who were mean to me.”
