Despite receiving consistently glowing reviews since her breakthrough role in the movie Thirteen, actress Evan Rachel Wood is better known these days for who she dates: Marilyn Manson.

19-year-old Wood, who stars and sings in the upcoming Beatles rock opera Across the Universe, opens up to GQ about that boyfriend of hers, their sexy video, and this pivotal time in her life. Read on for details!:

On being with Manson:
“I was so shy, painfully shy, for so long. For the first time, I really feel like I’m around somebody and in an environment where I can just let go and not worry about being judged.”

On the couple's domestic life:
“He snores louder than anybody I have ever heard! I think it’s the sweetest thing ever. It actually lulls me to sleep. But he puts Geppetto to shame...It’s every snore you’ve ever heard, rolled into one...Manson’s going to kill me.”

On the making the music video for Manson's song "Heart-Shaped Glasses," in which they are rumored to have had intercourse:
"We made it for each other. I just wanted to show that it’s okay to have different, weird ideas about romance. At the end of the video, we’re kissing and it’s raining blood—and for me, that was one of the most romantic moments of my entire life....If somebody can watch it and say, “Wow! I feel less weird now!” then that’s great. Somebody’s got to stand up for the freaks!

On her new movie, Across the Universe:
“I think it’s some of the most personal acting I’ve ever done, because I’m more aware of myself now. Before, I didn’t realize how therapeutic acting was for me—how much of myself I was letting out.”

On people worrying about her and her personal life:
“I’m really just being me and growing up. And I’m sorry if I have blond hair and blue eyes and my boyfriend looks like a vampire. What do you want me to do about it?”
