Actress Evan Rachel Wood proudly confessed she had lesbian relationships with women and claims she becomes a pretty romantic gentleman, who is sexually dominant, when she is dating a woman in an interview for Esquire Magazine.

The 23 year-old is also fascinated by the concept of androgyny as she is a big Davie Bowie fan, which is also supposed to explain the attraction she has for both men and women… and Marilyn Manson. Here are some highlights from Evan Rachel Wood’s Esquire interview:

On her reputation: “I don’t know!” she says, laughing. “I’m constantly changing, I’m constantly growing. I think I’m a little controversial? … I just try and keep some mystery, so hopefully people can’t really put their finger on it.”

On androgyny: “I grew up in love with David Bowie.” (She has a tattoo on her upper thigh to prove it, a heart with an Aladdin Sane lightning bolt.) “So I was always into very androgynous things. Guys, girls … I’m into androgyny in general.” She says this helps explain the appeal of her ex Marilyn Manson. “I think one of the things that freaked people out so much is that we looked so different.”

On dating women: “Yes,” she says proudly, as if she was waiting to be asked. Do you look for different things in men than in women? “Yeah, I’m more kind of like the guy when it comes to girls. I’m the dominant one.” It’s with women, she says, that her inner North Carolina gentleman comes out: “I’m opening the doors, I’m buying dinner. Yeah, I’m romantic.”
