Shia LaBeouf Quotes - Page 5

I've learned a great deal about a certain type of filmmaking. But I have ambitions toward another type of filmmaking that I haven't been allowed to engage in yet.

I was the only white kid in my neighborhood for most of my youth even in high school, so reverse racism was just as apparent as racism.

I come from divorce. I'm only doing marriage once. It's not a game for me.

Having emotional connections to things that don't really exist, like looking at a green ball and really loving that green ball, and being sad whether it's around or not. Stuff like that. I've never done acting at this level before so it was a huge challenge for me. It was a hurdle to overcome just to survive.

I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.

I was in a relationship with a girl I loved for three years. Where do you go after three years? Then you've got to start thinking about other things, and I'm too young to think about those things.

I'm trying to find a way to eat up time without being destructive, 'cause that's my go-to, it seems.

And if you're a golfer and you watch a golf film and Matt Damon swing, and it's not great, then you're not going to believe in the golf story, you're not going to believe in the rest of the film. That's the whole movie, so if that swing looks like crap, the movie's crap.

I was always raised on cowboy films, and then when I could start making choices about the movies I wanted to watch I found myself wanting to watch gangster films which were slightly more sophisticated than the baseline stuff that was in westerns.

My humor came from seeing my parents have sex, smoke weed, my mom being naked - just weird hippie stuff, twisted R-rated humor.

I am a season ticket holder to Dodger games. I go to every Dodger game I can go to. Every single one.

Animation has completely changed and I've always been a big fan.

I didn't know my dad for a long time. My dad was on drugs and my dad was at the VA Hospital, my dad was off in his own world selling drugs or using them or there would be crack heads in the house or whatever it would be.

There's never been a parent in my life.

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.

I understand why marriages break up over golf. I can't even talk about my own handicap because it's too upsetting.

And yeah, my handicap was down to a 10 when we were at the thick of it. I trained for six or seven months, golfing every day for six hours, seven days a week, with eight trainers. It was intense.

It's very weird because the 'It' guy usually is not the 'It' guy next year or even a guy that anyone is talking about.

We're living through the twilight of American economic dominance.

The hardest thing in acting is going from child actor to adult actor. It's taken me a long time.

I don't know, I just want to be happy. I could be in a hole somewhere. Or I could completely lose it and be some hippy living in the woods with my dad.

There's a way to do an acid trip like Harold & Kumar, and there's a way to be on acid. What I know of acting, Sean Penn actually strapped up to that electric chair in Dead Man Walking. These are the guys that I look up to.

None of my friends were ever as broke as I was.

My parents are retired, basically.

I enjoy what I'm able to give my family.
