More quotes by Shia LaBeouf
To be an actor, a true actor, you have to be brokenhearted.
Shia LaBeouf
A lot of people like to think that golf is a lazy man's sport. Or it's a rich man's sport, or it's a sport that they can't be involved in.
Shia LaBeouf
Clubs are so lame. Nobody even dances at these clubs. They stand around and get drunk and they schmooze. There is no enjoyment factor.
Shia LaBeouf
And I'm not a personality otherwise I'd be coming out with an album, performing on MTV. All that stuff is possible and I can do that tomorrow. I just have no need.
Shia LaBeouf
I'm constantly jumping off cliffs and developing my wings on the way down. ... It's a gamble, a ... spiritual gamble. You are who you choose to be.
Shia LaBeouf
If you can mix Hilary Duff and Gary Oldman into the same actor, that's my goal. I know it's strange to think about, but that's the goal.
Shia LaBeouf
As an actor, the minute you start getting real in interviews, you lose mystery.
Shia LaBeouf
I am a season ticket holder to Dodger games. I go to every Dodger game I can go to. Every single one.
Shia LaBeouf
I'm not an Adonis, that's for damn sure. I've never really thought of myself that way, and it doesn't matter to me. My favorite actors aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman is a flawed-looking man he's amazing to me. Tom Hanks is flawed-looking people love him. Same with Gene Hackman.
Shia LaBeouf
But this is a little different. This is the adult acting. This is a different crowd. It's more work and more good work. That's it. People will have their opinion regardless.
Shia LaBeouf
I've learned to be more reserved, watch what I'm saying I got in a little bit of trouble. People tell me 'Never lose that, never lose that,' but then I get in trouble so I have to lose it. I'm trying to keep a little bit I'm never going to lose who I am, I just gotta tone it down a little bit.
Shia LaBeouf
My mom is at my house every day, and she nags me about everything, especially hygiene.
Shia LaBeouf
I got accepted at Yale but never went.
Shia LaBeouf
I think every young actor in Los Angeles went up for that role. It was between Frankie Muniz and me, and he pulled out, so I got the role.
Shia LaBeouf
If people perceive you as a good actor then they'll wish for you to be a good actor and they'll root for you when they watch you, but if you come out and you're going to clubs every night people don't root for you anymore.
Shia LaBeouf
I'm a video game fan, and I always thought it would be cool to be able to control a character.
Shia LaBeouf
You can't buy back your respect you can't buy back your career. You only get one, so I don't want to mess that up.
Shia LaBeouf
I got to grow up in a situation where drugs were demonic. To watch your dad go through heroin withdrawal is something that would keep you from doing any of that yourself.
Shia LaBeouf
We did this two-week boot camp before we filmed the movie. I got to know everybody in the group and we became friends. We got really tight throughout those two weeks.
Shia LaBeouf
You can't have bank holding companies acting as hedge funds. You can't have them taking a million-dollar pension plan for Joe Schmo the bus driver and treat it with the same risk appetite that you treat George Soros' pocket money. It's fundamentally ridiculous.
Shia LaBeouf
