"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

aloneView Quote
"To be able to sit in Donald Trump's apartment and talk about the future of corporate real estate was amazing."

-Shia LaBeouf

amazingView Quote
"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

amazingView Quote
"I just wish the crowd I was associated with was more passionate about what they were doing and less consumed with the commerce of the art form."

-Shia LaBeouf

artView Quote

-Shia LaBeouf

businessView Quote
"The comic book world is a tough business."

-Shia LaBeouf

businessView Quote
"I've spent more on my Dodger tickets that I did on my car."

-Shia LaBeouf

carView Quote
"My first car, I got it in an auction at my temple. It was an '86 Volvo that I got for 500 bucks, and then wound up throwing $10,000 into the stereo system and put TVs in the foot rests. It was the most ridiculous Volvo you'd ever seen, but I had never had money before and I was out of my mind."

-Shia LaBeouf

carView Quote
"If you asked an 18-year-old what they want to do with their life, and the options are 'Transformers' or Lars von Trier, he's probably shipping out for 'Transformers.' If you ask a 26-year-old what he wants to do, 'Transformers' or Lars von Trier, he'd probably pick Lars von Trier. So, my sensibilities are changing as I change."

-Shia LaBeouf

changeView Quote
"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."

-Shia LaBeouf

coolView Quote
"I've been in fights, but that doesn't make me cool or like a tough guy or more interesting actor, I'm not proud of it."

-Shia LaBeouf

coolView Quote

-Shia LaBeouf

dadView Quote
"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."

-Shia LaBeouf

dadView Quote
"Now my dad is with me, traveling with me and a big part of this whole thing is I like to mix it up a little bit, you know. Who gets to take their father on a private jet across the country and stay in first class hotels? So we're enjoying it, but I'd stop if it's not possible."

-Shia LaBeouf

dadView Quote
"I want my audience to know me for my work, not because of who I'm dating or what drugs I'm on or what club I went to."

-Shia LaBeouf

datingView Quote

"If I have enough money to eat I'm good."

-Shia LaBeouf

moneyView Quote
"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

moneyView Quote
"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."

-Shia LaBeouf

moneyView Quote
"My first car, I got it in an auction at my temple. It was an '86 Volvo that I got for 500 bucks, and then wound up throwing $10,000 into the stereo system and put TVs in the foot rests. It was the most ridiculous Volvo you'd ever seen, but I had never had money before and I was out of my mind."

-Shia LaBeouf

moneyView Quote
"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

moneyView Quote

"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."

-Shia LaBeouf

relationshipView Quote
"There's only so far you can take a relationship before you got to get into things that are too serious or over the top. I'm 20 years old. I was in a relationship with a girl I love 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."

-Shia LaBeouf
