I'm very picky and I'm in a situation where it's a big crossover.
— Shia LaBeouf
My family, my parents are hippies.
No, I was an unknown when I walked in that room. He didn't know who I was from a fly on the wall.
So it's kind of nervous to be in this situation, but at the same time you look at all those actors and the work that they've done, I've been in bigger films than all of them and still kept my integrity and still kept my respect.
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.
You never really meet a human being until you live with them or know them for awhile, so this is my clown and they understand that and so these interviews don't bother them.
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.
My neighborhood was rough, but I live a great life now. I don't fight that much now. I don't look for it anyway, but if someone hits your mother, whether you're a star, an accountant, or an astronaut or anything... I mean it's your mother, so I lost my mind.
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.
There's never been a parent in my life.
When you look at golf films before us they're all - garbage or satire. A lot of sports films tend to vilify the opposition. Where the opposition becomes this big angry monster, so big you can't beat him.
If I have enough money to eat I'm good.
No, I come for a hippy lifestyle, it's very open; my parents are both hippies.
Respected, I almost want to be revered, that's what I'm chasing.
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.
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.
