Megan Fox has her eye on a career out of the spotlight - and wants to devote her life to helping the less fortunate, according to reports.

The 23-year-old actress has shot to fame starring in hit movie blockbusters, but insisted that she will not feel fulfilled until she uses her high-profile fame to better the lives of others - particularly children.

"Overall, in terms of this business, I hope to gain the status that will enable me to be truly and legitimately helpful to people."

"I feel like that's my purpose in life, to do charity work and help people around the world on a global level. Being part of this business, you have so much influence and you can really make a difference. I'm drawn towards the idea of somehow helping children."

This is probably the first smart thing that has ever come out of this woman's mouth.
