One doesn’t get to dominate the media on looks alone. Megan Fox has had a little help, namely her big mouth.
The “Transformers” actress has yet to score a truly breakout serious role -- a fact she discusses in a recent Rolling Stone article when asked about “Jennifer’s Body,” confessing that “I don’t think anybody is going to walk away from it and go, ‘Wow, she’s really talented.’ ”
Regardless of your takes on her films, there’s no denying she’s frank. Whether discussing her directors or teen pop stars, Fox is not a shy one.
Indeed, Fox has become a go-to cover girl -- one whose quotes sometimes overshadow her roles. We offer some of our favorites. (Teresa Barbieri / Getty Images)
Megan Fox tells Wonderland magazine what she really thinks of “Transformers” director Michael Bay:
“God, I really wish I could go loose on this one. He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous madman 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. He has no social skills at all. And it’s endearing to watch him. He’s vulnerable and fragile in real life and then on set he’s a tyrant. Shia and I almost die when we make a ‘Transformers’ movie. He has you do some really insane things that insurance would never let you do.” (Kevin Winter / Getty Images)
Megan Fox makes it perfectly clear to MTV that she is NOT making a sex tape:
“It would take one shot of me not looking good, and I would not be able to have sex ever again because I would always just see myself looking like a hippo having sex.” (Darren Calabrese / Associated Press)
Megan Fox tells E! about her doppelganger (here’s a hint, he starred in “M*A*S*H”):
“I am pretty sure I am a doppelganger for Alan Alda. I’m a tranny. I’m a man. I’m so painfully insecure. I’m on the verge of vomiting now. I am so horrified that I am here, and embarrassed. I’m scared.” (Jason Merritt / Getty Images)

Megan Fox confesses to GQ that she has more than one girl crush:
“Look, I’m not a lesbian -- I just think that all humans are born with the ability to be attracted to both sexes. I mean, I could see myself in a relationship with a girl -- Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands. She’s mesmerizing. And lately I’ve been obsessed with Jenna Jameson, but...Oh boy.” (Jason Merritt / Getty Images)
Megan Fox explains to Rolling Stone why men are intimidated by her.
“Men are scared of powerful, confident vaginas. But I wasn’t born with a special vagina.” (Kevin Winter / Getty Images)
Megan Fox tells Esquire what “High School Musical” is really about.
“Let me tell you what it’s really about. ‘High School Musical’ is about this group of boys who are all being molested by the basketball coach, who is Zac Efron‘s dad. It’s about them struggling to cope with this molestation. And they have these little girlfriends, who are their beards. Oh, and somehow there’s music involved.” (Kevin Winter / Getty Images)
Megan Fox explains to Entertainment Weekly that Miley Cyrus should have never have had to apologize for her Vanity Fair photos.
“The fact that they made Miley Cyrus apologize publicly for a photograph that she took with Annie Leibovitz is outrageous. They should have had a Disney rep on the set who was watching over it, because it’s Annie Leibovitz. She’s known for doing a certain kind of photography. And they didn’t. And that’s their fault. To force a 14- or 15-year-old girl to come out and apologize like she’s done something wrong is not acceptable. If you ever watch the Disney Channel, they’re selling sex. All the girls on these shows have on full Pussycat Doll makeup.” (Denis Poroy / Associated Press)

Megan Fox gets right to the point when discussing food and flatulence with GQ.
“If you eat Chinese food, your farts come out like Chinese food. If you eat Mexican food, your farts come out like Mexican food. And milk, it’s like -- you can smell the warmth in the fart. My wardrobe on ‘Transformers’ always smells like farts, and I have no idea why.” (Charles Sykes / Associated Press)
Megan Fox gets humble with Entertainment Weekly when discussing her role in “Transformers.”
“I’m terrible in it. It’s my first real movie and it’s not honest and not realistic. The movie wasn’t bad, I just wasn’t proud about what I did.” (Kevin Winter / Getty Images)
