Megan Fox is tired of the Angelina Jolie comparisons. And according to Us Weekly, so is Jolie. A source to the magazine claims that “Angie has been saying, ‘That woman acts like a fool. She needs to mind her Ps and Qs. She’s saying shocking things for attention, but those things will follow her around and be reprinted forever ... I wish someone had pulled me aside when I was young and told me that. Now, I’ll forever be known as a lesbian or a self-cutter, instead of what I worked so hard to become. You have to put a muzzle on it!’”

Fox told the New York Times Magazine she doesn’t “even consider [Jolie] human ... She’s like a superhuman goddess.” Even so, she finds the comparisons to be “the bane of [her] existence”: “People compare me to Angelina Jolie, and she’s so serious and stoic. I’m the opposite. When I do interviews, I say things that I think are hysterical ... I’m not a tigress like Angelina.”

Fox maintains that she “created a character as an offering for the sacrifice” and that she is “not willing to give [her] true self up": "It’s a testament to my real personality that I would go so far as to make up another personality to give to the world. The reality is, I’m hidden amongst all the insanity. Nobody can find me.”

But she contradicts herself when she likens her “hysterical” responses to being, in some way, a normal person: “I sit down and do an interview and I talk like a person and that, for some reason, is shocking.”

Fox creates room for the media to “sacrifice” her yet again when she admits, “I don’t know if I’m talented, I don’t know what I can do or can’t do. I had no skills at all. As a child, I had it in my head that I was supposed to be doing this, and then I did it. But I didn’t know what I was doing.”

“My mother never really believed that I would be successful, but I never second-guessed it at all,” she adds. “I never once even got depressed. I’m my own thing. I don’t feel like there’s anyone else like me.”
