... him, nor was Ben Affleck before I put him in “Armageddon.” [keep in mind both Nic Cage and Ben Affleck were Oscar winners before they worked with Bay] Shia LaBeouf wasn’t a big movie star before he did “Transformers”—and then he exploded. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, from “Bad Boys.” Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in “Transformers.” I like to think that I’ve had some luck in building actors’ careers with my films.

... Speaking to The Wall Street Journal about the situation with Fox, he says, "Well, that's Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she's 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, "Okay Megan, you can do whatever you want. I got it." But I 100% disagree with her.

... want to blow smoke up people’s ass. People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting. And once you realize that, it becomes almost fun because you can be in the moment and go, ‘All right, I know that when he calls Action! I’m either going to be running or screaming, or both.’” Then she said that she still doesn’t understand Transformers 2, because it must be a movie made for geniuses.
Bay’s response, in the Wall Street Journal, was fantastic.

Megan Fox Killed in ‘Transformers 3’?
The Movie Banter —
... You can get mad at her, and I can understand how you could, but she’s got a point. Transformers’ purpose for being made was not for terrific acting; it was for explosive robots and for Fox to lean against a car in a belly-shirt while 13-year-old boys in the audience drooled on their popcorn. Bay was pissed at this comment. He fought back in the Wall Street Journal, saying that Fox “(said) some very ridiculous things…She’s 23-years-old, and she still has a lot of growing up to do.” She replied by saying that working with Bay is worse than dealing with “Hitler.” Then ...
