- Ranked #17 on Interview magazine's Hollywood faces to watch "Future Stars of Tomorrow".
- Has a condition called Brachydactyly type D, which caused her to have unique-looking thumbs. Has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, for which she has been medicated since she was a child. Has also discussed her obsessive-compulsive disorder, insecurities, self-harming, and has acknowledged that she has low self-esteem.
- To prepare for her role as a possessed living-dead teenager in Jennifer's Body (2009), she lost around 15 lbs., bringing her weight down to a near-frail 97 lbs., and stayed out of the sun for four months to keep her skin pale.
- Ranked #1 on Moviefone magazine's "The 25 Hottest Actors Under 25" (2008).
- [on working with Michael Bay] Michael Bay's name, if it's attached to a script, you know it's going to be a huge blockbuster released in the summer, with jets flying over at the premiere and all that kind of stuff. So I knew it was going to be a huge movie.
- [on George Clooney] He's sarcastic, and he has a different girlfriend constantly. It's considered charismatic. He's like this James Bond, sexy dude. The older he gets, the better he gets. It's a double standard. To be outspoken, or different at all, is a problem for women. As soon as you curse or, God forbid, make some sort of sexual reference that's a joke, you're labeled a party girl. They don't do that with men, so I feel it would be a lot easier.
- [Director Michael Bay] doesn't like really skinny actresses. He's been traumatized by them for some reason in the past. So I always try to put on eight to ten pounds before filming, and I'm always the fattest I've ever been when making a Transformers (2007) movie.
- [on her Marilyn Monroe tattoo] I committed to having her face on my arm for the rest of my life, so I have to be a pretty big fan.
- Wonder Woman is a lame superhero. She flies around in her invisible jet, but she's not invisible. And her weaponry is a magic lasso that makes you tell the truth. I just don't get it.
