Bay, the director of epics like \"Armageddon\" and \"Pearl Harbor,\" dismissed her \"ridiculous\" comments because \"she's 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing up to do,\" he told a reporter.
\"Nobody in the world knew Megan Fox until I found her and put her in \"Transformers,'\" he said.
Things came to a head when Fox, in a subsequent interview, compared Bay to acting like Hitler on his sets. In retaliation, three alleged crewmembers of \"Transformers\" wrote an anonymous letter and posted it on Bay's Web site accusing Fox of being unprofessional, difficult to work with and \"dumb as a rock.\"
Bay removed the letter from his site and released a statement saying he neither condoned the crew letter nor \"Megan's outlandish quotes,\" but conceded they are \"part of her crazy charm\" and looked forward to \"more crazy quotes from her on 'Transformers 3.'\"
After hearing about the anonymous crew letter, Fox felt the urge to defend herself but didn't have an outlet.
\"I know that that experience was not that way with my crew. It was an anonymous letter. It could be anyone. It's not true. My crew knows it's not true,\" she said emphatically. \"And my producers know it's not true. I don't want people to ever think I'm difficult to work with, or that I'm a bitch, because I try to go out of my way to make people feel comfortable. I can't argue against every false thing that's said about me, because I would be doing nothing else with my day but refuting false stories.
Fox affirmed she would love to do \"Transformers 3\" and denied there was any rift between her and Bay. \"There's always been peace,\" she said. \"The media sensationalized it.\"
\"I think people are born bisexual and they make subconscious choices based on the pressures of society,\" she told the magazine. \"I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I'm also a hypocrite. 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.\"
Fox made her first official screen debut with a role in the 2001 Olsen twins comedy \"Holiday in the Sun.\"
\"I didn't watch it,\" she confessed, \"I've seen it on TV on ABC Family while making macaroni and cheese in the kitchen.\"
She claimed to hate watching herself on screen. \"I watched the 'Transformers' films because I had to promote the movies. I'm petrified of watching with an audience,\" she added. \"For the most part, actors are very insecure, neurotic messes about our work and our magazine covers...you don't understand till you live it.\"
She described Britney Spears as \"the walking and talking billboard of this.\"
Fox's favorite scene in \"Jennifer's Body\" typifies this insecurity. Jennifer is already undead and is getting ready for the prom.
\"She's trying to cover up damage and restore herself -- that was a real moment for me as a girl trying to hide all your emotions and physical imperfections,\" she said.
Despite the perils of fame, Fox does not want her life to change: \"I'm so blessed with the opportunities I have. I basically hope I won't f*** up.\"
