Megan Fox Says, Deep Down, All Actors 'Are Insecure'

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 14th 2009 08:09AM

Megan Fox keeps with her tradition of not letting an interview go by without producing a head-scratching quote. In what's sure to make Meryl Streep sit up and take notice, Fox tells Matt Lauer on 'The Today Show' that women in Hollywood have insecurities driving them to succeed.

Fox was appearing to promote 'Jennifer's Body,' which just premiered over the weekend at the Toronto Film Festival. When Matt Lauer turned away from the movie talk to focus on Fox's recent statements of insecurity and self-loathing, Fox was unleashed.

"I think that all actors are pretty insecure. I think that's what drives us into this business is that insecurity," Fox told Lauer.

"Especially being a woman. I think that all women have some deep-seeded insecurities, for whatever reason because of how we're raised in society. It's hard having so much focus put on you all the time. It's hard to maintain that confidence, because you are always second guessing yourself and questioning yourself and feeling like you are letting someone down or you're failing in one way or another because you can't please all the people all the time."

Lauer asked Fox about the best part of her fame. "That you feel blessed and lucky to have any success in this business because it's so hard for people to achieve it. I feel undeserving of it because I was involved in something that was so much bigger than I was," said the actress.

The worst part of fame? "The lack of anonymity which is a hard thing to describe to people. When your privacy is taken away or when people are picking apart everything you say and do and judging it judging everything you say and do, it's tough to live in that space. It's basically like you are always in high school. You never get out of high school. Hollywood is a giant high school."

All actors are insecure? Particularly those without talent, Ms. Fox.

megan is a stupid as she is beautiful, and one flop away from ending up in porno like kim karkrash.

I would respect that comment of Megans if the comment came from DeNiro, Nicholson or Pachino. Maybe she can also give us her thoughts on being a rocket scientist if she get's to play one in a movie.

Gee, could I be correct in stating that Fox's PR person is operating at WARP speed? Talk about overkill. There's always something in here about Fox, whoever she is.

I think Megan is beautiful and so with that kind of beauty there is going be two types of people for the most part. People that love her and people that hate her. She did well in this interview. However, reading some of her earlier comments I see why people are rolling their eyes at her. I'd advise against making any reference to Angelina. Megan is not even on the same level in beauty, grace or achievements. Angelina travels the world and helps other people and is selfless. Ms. Fox seems to be a bit self absorbed. She should find a center and learn that outer beauty can be taken away with any number of things so you had better be able to back it up with some inner beauty, sincerity, grace and intellect. But she is very pretty. To bad she can’t back it up.
