Shia LaBeouf
People were going to geometry class and I was swimming through vats of chili on 'Even Stevens.' It was like a dream!

They're very, uh, you know, I don't come from the suburbs and a jolly, Disney type of lifestyle. I come from something totally different. And they're cool and bare minimum so it's not always a money issue for me.

By studying psychology i want to be a better actor. There's something about studying body language and non-spoken emotion - I know the innate response. But to really study it like a science would be fun.
Shia LaBeouf
My generation will actually be the first generation that is tamer than the one that came before it, and it will probably be poorer less fun and less money. It's ridiculous. In my parents' generation, rebellion was pop culture. It's not anymore.
Shia LaBeouf
I enjoy what I'm able to give my family.
Shia LaBeouf
I've never been able to learn from other people's mistakes - I'm not that smart - so I usually learn by trial by fire.
Shia LaBeouf
