Evan Rachel Wood has no problem being open about who she is.
In the October issue of Marie Claire, the star of the George Clooney-directed "Ides of March" opened up about her failed relationships and what exactly she is looking for in the future.
The 24-year-old actress revealed in April that she's bisexual, but now she's gone into even more detail about her love life.

Being bisexual is "a big part of who I am, and it always has been for as long as I can remember," she said. "I can't say I'm one way or the other because I've honestly fallen in love with a man and I've honestly fallen in love with a woman."
The star went on to explain how different it was for her to date a woman.
"It was wonderful," she said. "I mean, it was terrifying at first. Not because I thought it was wrong but just because I was intimidated by women. It's a totally different arena!"

So how did the actress handle this whole new world of dating?
"The approach is completely different than it is with a man but I finally let myself say, 'You've got to go for this. It's in you and it's not going away,'" she said.
Wood's taste in men has always been a bit offbeat.

Until August 2010, she was engaged to shock rocker Marilyn Manson, and in this interview she opens up about a new obsession: Justin Bieber.
"I saw the movie [Never Say Never], and that's what did it," she said. "I ended up seeing it three times -- in the theaters."
Another guy who floats her boat? "Ides" co-star and director Clooney.
"I wish every movie I worked on was a George Clooney movie," Wood said.
In fact, she was so taken with Clooney that she used him as an inspiration for her character, a sexually forward intern.
"I swear to God I was channeling George a little bit in those moments," she said. "He has a very calm, quiet, direct way about him, and I think that's what he wanted for the character. Just very in control."
