Megan Fox: 'I don't want sexpot roles'

Megan Fox has admitted that she is striving to win roles that will show her acting versatility.

Speaking to Empire, the Transformers actress claimed that she is keen to keep a distance from her sex symbol tag.

"You can't be [a sex symbol] 24 hours a day," Fox said. "I can't be a professional celebrity or a professional sexpot. I can't do that to myself. I just want to work and make the right choices, and study and develop as an actress.

"I don't want to be on the cover of every magazine that exists. I want to try not to do that. It's my job to show people something different."

Fox added that she is proud to have topped a poll asking who would be the best celebrity companion for spring break.

"I beat out Tina Fey. And that's such a victory for me!" she noted. "People are beginning to understand that I've got a personality and a sense of humour, and it's not a poll of 14-year-old boys being asked who they would most like to sleep with..."
