More quotes by Shia LaBeouf
I am trying to impress myself. I have yet to do it.
Shia LaBeouf
I think penguins are the most human of all the birds, which may be why people love them. They're cute, they stand upright and they look like they're wearing tuxedos.
Shia LaBeouf
If you're trying to learn how to act from a class, you're analyzing the teachers' movements and their intricacies, and it becomes like a pantomime of you wanting to be them, and that's wrong. Literature is an easier way to study acting, because then you can take any kind of spin. It's your own imagination, and your own version of it.
Shia LaBeouf
My humor came from seeing my parents have sex, smoke weed, my mom being naked - just weird hippie stuff, twisted R-rated humor.
Shia LaBeouf
I turned down a scholarship to Yale. The problem with college is that there's a tendency to mistake preparation for productivity. You can prepare all you want, but if you never roll the dice you'll never be successful.
Shia LaBeouf
I think I'm prone to not being a good guy in relationships.
Shia LaBeouf
There's no room for being a visionary in the studio system. It literally cannot exist. You give Terrence Malick a movie like Transformers, and he's f***ed. There's no way for him to exist in that world... Lars Von Trier's dangerous. He scares me. And I'm only going to work now when I'm terrified.
Shia LaBeouf
You can prepare all you want, but if you never roll the dice you'll never be successful.
Shia LaBeouf
All of the things that have happened in my life have been self-propelled. I can't blame anybody else or point a finger at anybody.
Shia LaBeouf
Comics, for me, is being able to sing alone in the shower. I find it freeing. You just pick up a pen and get to it.
Shia LaBeouf
I got kicked out of every school I ever went to.
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.
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
My mom is at my house every day, and she nags me about everything, especially hygiene.
Shia LaBeouf
I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.
Shia LaBeouf
There is no grand strategy. My sensibilities push me in a certain direction. Other actors have different sensibilities. That's all. I think it really is that simple. There's no grand strategy. There are so many variables that I have no control over. I sign on to movies I want to watch, as a fan.
Shia LaBeouf
Talent is to actors what luck is to card players. Its not really anything its just a fictitious word that people have created and labeled things. Talent is like, you know, I never really believed in talent, I believed in drive and determination and preparation, but talent is sort of like luck.
Shia LaBeouf
No, I was an unknown when I walked in that room. He didn't know who I was from a fly on the wall.
Shia LaBeouf
There's a form of selling out. It's necessary. You have to become edible for people in Texas. You have to become edible for the Christian right, for mass audiences.
Shia LaBeouf
I didn't jump onto anyone else's coattail and ride their wave.
Shia LaBeouf
