September’s Nylon magazine features a cover shot of Evan Rachel Wood, girlfriend of shock rocker Marilyn Manson. In the article she talks about singing one of his songs in front of him, her future in music, being mature for her age, and her inspirational boyfriend.

“We really inspired each other. I’ve been kind of shy about anything I did on my own, what I wrote or any songs that I made. I never let anybody read them or hear them, but he’s definitely made me feel comfortable enough to come out of my shell. I’ve been writing, getting really into photography now. Because Manson is just really encouraging in every way, it really makes you want to get up and go, and now we each have a partner in crime.”
