While talking about his motivation to make new music recently, Marilyn Manson revealed that he and his ex-girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood were giving things another try. He said,

I think I’m not afraid to be me. Sometimes [it] happens when you get to this point in your career, and there are so many things that have happened and influences that you’ve had, besides the influences of the things that have inspired you. Sometimes you feel awkward being what you’re best at, you feel like you have to be something new. But I think that a lot of people will agree that me being me at my best [is what] I need to be. I think that that really paid off because I’m back with Evan, that’s kind of breaking news.

Keep in mind, this is that same girl that inspired the song, “I Want to Kill You Like They Do in The Movies”. That’s all in the past though.
