Quotes
Megan Fox
- I grew up craving the spotlight and once it happened I immediately recoiled. It just always seemed really glamorous. As a child you think everyone who's famous is very wealthy and powerful. I thought my internal issues would be solved and I would be this really confident person. And I'm not.
- I worked at a Tropical Smoothie in Florida when I was 15. I would sometimes have to go out by the street in a gigantic banana costume and dance to try to get customers to come in. There was no anonymity - the costume had a big hole cut out so that everyone could see your face. My friends from school would drive back and forth and yell all kinds of awesome obscenities at me.
- I didn't decide I'm gonna be an actress cause I wanna be respected for how I play chess.
- I was with someone from the time I was 18 and I've never been my own independent adult. Right now there's no space in my head for who's going to be next or how I need to fill my time. I'm trying to expand myself and grow and be comfortable with who I am before I get into another relationship where I'll just repeat a cycle. Otherwise I will have ten failed relationships. I will be Elizabeth Taylor by the time I am 60 and I don't want that.
- I'm definitely labelled in the pin-up category. I haven't given people a reason to take my work seriously yet, which is my responsibility. I think the expectation for me, as far as my ability as an actress goes, is very low. I feel like that means I can only ever be an over-achiever when people expect so little from me.
- When I moved to Los Angeles I had no money. I remember needing to shave my legs, and I didn't even have enough money to buy disposable razors. So I'd wear pants all the time.
- I don't trust male intentions, usually, because they don't approach me for intellectual conversation.
- When I go to a party, I always feel like I'm chum. Like my agent is just chumming the waters until I'm circled by all these dudes.
- If I ever lose a role because of my tattoos, I'll quit Hollywood and go to work at Costco.
- I don't want to have to go on talk shows and pull out every single Sat word I've ever learned, to prove, like, 'Take me seriously, I am intelligent, I can speak.' I don't want to have to do that. I resent having to prove that I'm not a retard.

Last Updated: Wednesday, September 30, 2009
Megan Fox was born May 16, 1986 in Tennessee. She began exploring acting and dance at the age of five. After relocating to St. Petersburg, Florida, she began doing small modelling jobs while continuing her acting training throughout high school. A string of wins at the 1999 American Modeling and Talent Convention convinced her to launch her acting career, so she dropped out of high school and moved to Los Angeles when she was sixteen years-old.
Fox made her screen debut as a bratty heiress in the Olsen Twins feature Holiday in the Sun (2001), where she was credited under her full name of Megan Denise Fox (the first and only time that happened). Her debut was followed by various minor roles in several films and a regular role in short-lived soap called Ocean Ave. She began to draw attention to herself playing the role of Sydney Shanowski on the ABC comedy Hope and Faith, but exploded into superstar status after her appearence in the 2007 Michael Bay film The Transformers.
Her sudden meteoric rise to fame led to numerous magazine layouts and film offers, as well as becoming a favorite subject of the paparazzi. In 2004, she had begun a serious relationship with Beverly Hills 90210 star Brian Austin Green and the pair had announced their engagement in 2006. The pair had a falling out in February of 2009, but have since reconciled.
