MARILYN MANSON: 'Individuals Deserve To Decide What's Right For Them'

June 5, 2007

Launch Radio Networks reports: MARILYN MANSON offers up his latest musical meal on Tuesday (June 5) with his sixth studio album, "Eat Me, Drink Me". Manson has called the record his most personal record yet, with many of the lyrics inspired by the end of his marriage to burlesque dancer Dita von Teese, the depression that followed, and his budding new romance with teen actress Evan Rachel Wood. But Manson told Launch that he doesn't offer any apologies for his private and professional behavior. "There's so many people that go about their everyday life and they're content in being a sheep and they're content, you know, letting someone else decide their morality for them," he said. "The responsible people who are willing to accept the consequences of their actions deserve to be individuals, and I think individuals deserve to decide what's right for them, you know."

The video for the album's first single, "Heart Shaped Glasses", features several softcore sex scenes between Manson and the 19-year-old Wood. When asked by Rolling Stone how her parents reacted to the clip, Manson said, "Well, I had to have a drink with Evan's mother and father. The main thing that needs to be established is that I might share my life with her, but that does not incriminate her in my behavior...Basically, I'm not as bad in the way they'd like to think I am. But I'm bad in a different way. I'm always going to be bad."

The shock rocker also called Wood "the most unique, stand-alone person who doesn't need a relationship with me to further her career."

Manson will begin a co-headlining tour with SLAYER on July 25 in West Palm Beach, Florida.
