- Returned to work seven weeks after giving birth to her son Bodhi in order to complete filming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014).
- On June 24, 2010, she married her boyfriend of six years Brian Austin Green following a three-year on-and-off engagement. They married in a secret wedding ceremony at the Four Seasons Resort in Hawaii with his son Kassius as their only witness.
- 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.
- Has approximately ten tattoos so far, including her husband's name "Brian" on her hip. Although she is removing the tattoo of Marilyn Monroe on her right forearm (2011).
- [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.
