Interview magazine cover
LaBeouf appears on the November cover of Interview magazine. LaBeouf discusses his relationship with his father and his recent behavior.
I’m not a very intelligent person, and you’ve got to be a f–king genius to learn from other people’s mistakes, because you’ve got to be a very smart man to learn from your own. You’re only as good as your last thing, and I’m only thinking about the next thing. I’ve been a runner my whole life, running from myself. Whether to movies or drinking and drugging or f–king calamity or whatever it is, I’ve always been running. I’m a dude who loves delusion. It’s why I love being an actor—I never have to actually look at myself or be faced with my s–t or take responsibility. So it’s been an eye-opening thing to have to look at myself, at my life, and have these reflective moments.
Details cover
LaBeouf appears on the cover of the August 2011 issue of Details magazine. He talks about getting into fights, hooking up with Megan Fox, and a date with Hilary Duff.
I would like to be George Clooney – diplomatic. I just don’t have the wherewithal yet or the inner serenity. My bulls— meter is tuned very sensitive. The minute it starts kicking up, I get back to truth, and sometimes that involves, you know, ‘I don’t want to take a picture.’ And if that’s the case, am I an asshole for being honest? Or am I an a–hole for being dishonest, smiling in your picture and I f—ing hate being there? Which one is worse? These are the questions I ask myself that George Clooney doesn’t ask.
GQ cover
LaBeouf appears on the cover of the April 2010 issue of GQ magazine. He talks about online stock trading, his car crash, and his girlfriend Carey Mulligan.
She’s an unbelievably thought-provoking actress, the most talented actress I’ve ever met in my life, by leaps and bounds. Neither one of us are fame whores. It works out. It’s not like we’re the premiere couple; we’re not the red carpet king and queen.
Parade cover
LaBeouf appears on the cover of the July 2009 issue of Parade magazine. He talks about where he gets his humour from, his breakup, and living his life.
Sometimes I feel I’m living a meaningless life and I get frightened. I know I’m one of the luckiest dudes in America right now. I have a great house. My parents don’t have to work. I’ve got money. I’m famous. But it could all change, man. It could go away. You never know.
GQ cover
LaBeouf appears on the cover of the June 2008 issue of GQ magazine. He talks about working on Indiana Jones and his female co-stars.
I’ve been in love with every woman I’ve ever worked with (Megan Fox, Sarah Roemer and Michelle Monaghan). [But] there’s the three-month attention span that actors have. I don’t know if it’s mutual, but I really don’t care. They have to kiss me when ‘action’ gets called, anyway, so I’ll get what I want.
