Earlier this year, Megan Fox was quoted as saying some not-so-nice things about 'Transformers,' the blockbuster hit that made her a household name. Many pegged Fox as ungrateful, including members of the film's crew and director Michael Bay himself, but the sexy star defended her position on the movie while accepting an award at the Spike TV Scream Awards this past Saturday. Read her quotes after the jump!
When Fox accepted her award for Best Sci-Fi Actress at the fourth annual Scream Awards, she decided to take the opportunity to clear up her stance on the 'Transformers' franchise.
"I don't usually do this, but I wanted to say something," she said. "There have been a lot of false reports about how I feel about this movie. I just want to be very clear that I've always felt I'm a very ordinary part of an extraordinary film."
She continued to acknowledge what the film did for her career.
"The movie took me out of obscurity and gave me a career, and I'm completely grateful to everyone involved with this franchise."
On Women: "I come across as confident and [women] assume that means that I think I'm hot s--t. And that makes them feel bad about themselves and so they hate me." -- Entertainment Weekly
On Tattoos: "I wouldn't regret [my "Brian" tattoo] if we weren't together. I can always have a kid and name him Brian. There are options." (referring to ex-boyfriend Brian Austin Green) -- FHM

On Living With Megan Fox: "I'm horrible to live with ... My clothes end up wherever I take them off. I forget to flush the toilet. Friends will tell me, "Megan, you totally pinched a loaf in my toilet and didn't flush." - FHM

On Stage Fright: "Every time I go on stage - instant diarrhea." - Cosmo

On the Acting Profession: "We actors are kind of prostitutes. We get paid to feign attraction and love. Other people are paying to watch us kissing someone, touching someone, doing things people in a normal monogamous relationship would never do with anyone who's not their partner. It's really kind of gross." -- British GQ

On Wannabe Power Players: "It's fun when someone intends to put you in his back pocket, but instead, he walks away wounded. I make it a mind game so they don't know if I'm hitting on them or mocking them. Male actors drop lines about their private jets, trying to seem powerful, but I don't give a s--t. I don't need someone else's power. I'm obtaining my own." - Cosmo
On Bisexuality: "I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I'd never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man." -- Esquire

On Being Compared to Angelina: "[Jolie] always seems otherworldly in her power and her confidence. I'm sure she has no idea who I am. But if I were her, I'd be like, 'Who the f--k is this little bulls--- brat who was in 'Transformers' that's going to be the next me?'" -- Entertainment Weekly

But while previously promoting 'Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen,' Fox's comments didn't exactly make that clear. On CBS's 'Early Show' this summer, Fox suggested the sequel made no sense.
"I'm in the movie and I read the script and I watched the movie and I still didn't know what was happening," Fox said. "I don't know how you saw it in IMAX without having a brain aneurysm or at least a migraine headache!"
More recently, in an interview with Wonderland Magazine, Fox compared Bay to dictators like Napoleon and Hitler when asked what he was like to work with. But she also said that Bay has "no social skills."
"God, I really wish I could go loose on this one," she began. "He's like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward."
Her comments didn't sit well with the film's crew. In a letter from three crew members, Fox was called "dumb as a rock", "the grump of the set", "the queen of talking trailer trash and posing like a porn star" and "as about ungracious a person as you can ever fathom."
Then, on day one of shooting for the third 'Transformers' installment, Bay posted a special message to Fox on his Web site, signaling that their beef is over -- at least, for now.
"P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you."
The release date for the next film is set for July 1, 2010.
Someone needs to tell Megan Fox that attitude she's displaying wears on that beauty and will eventually turn her into a hag. People who live with such a harsh attitude seem to lose the beauty they are given. In fact if you look closely at her face it already is. Oh well live and learn give me a good Jenn or Kate Hudsen, with a better attitude anyday.
That's too bad. I was hoping she'd at least stand her ground against the Bay "Bad Movie" Express.
South Park got it right. Special Effects do not make a movie great. It makes a movie a one-time watch. Saw Transformers once in the theater, and I've never bothered to watch it again (or it's silly sequel), because the stargate/xena/Syfy B movie-style acting, lack of a coherent story/characters, and corn factor were peaking at near infinite levels.
It's like they made a SyFy channel B-flick with better special effects, familiar character voice actors, and a hot actress but kept all the bad writing.
Don't get me wrong, I also get my laughs when a movie takes itself too seriously, but when it degenerates into Alien : Resurrection self-parody I lose all interest.
Michael Bay has turned into Uwe Boll with a bigger budget.
IT IS TO BAD SHE IS GOING TO RUIN HER CARRER WITH JUST OPENING HER MOUTH. HER LOOKS ARE GREAT .HER EVERYTHING ELSE IS HORRIBLE. WHAT A SHAME. ANOTHER HOLLYWOOD FLAMMING STAR. SHE IS SO STUPID. LOOKS DO NOT LAST FOREVER. GET USE TO FLIPPING BURGERS GIRL!
oh come on! wouldnt we all like to be in her shoes? Beautiful, Talented, Rich. Shes way to pretty for her own good and young. just because she does have it all going on, people lash out! Leave the poor girl alone she cant be that bad!!!!
Like really? No, I wouldn't want to be her. Even though she IS pretty and rich, she's not talented, and she's rude as Hell. How could you want to be like her, Kate Hudson, Heigl, or all those others who only live to 'be better' than everybody else? Only because they work in big features and earn big bucks does NOT stand as good human beings, or even smart, classy, thoughtful and in some point, worthy of all of that.
There are people who would want to be as famous as she is and wouldn't be so ungrateful to the hand that feeds them. Megan, go to Africa and see better folks than you dying because of lack of job, money and health care! Sad, huh?
Someone who is only 23 years old sometimes puts their foot in their mouth. Just because she is a stunner doesn't give someone the right to diss anybody. When you realize it that's called maturity when you know where your bread is buttered. Difficult actors & actresses who complain and slander can wind up un-employable regardless of someone's attractiveness.
Megan Fox is the biggest idiot ever. She talks about how women feel threatened by her... yea right. I use to love her and think she was hot until she opened her mouth that is. Can someone say narcisstic?
I'm not Angelina (injects collagen into mouth) just because we have the same hair (dyes hair and adds extensions)... doesnt mean that we are anything alike (while mentioning angelina again) and as crazy as I am (watching Gia and Girl Interrupted) I think I could tap into that! Cuz Angie and I aren't alike (watches Angelina raise eyebrow and simutaneously sticks tongue out creating her new thing). I'm smart, I'm funny (repeats to herself over and over) and dangit, people like me! (tries to ignore the laughing) I'm an actress (poses with ass sticking in air) and I'm the greatest thing ever (thanking all the fansboys).
