Sometimes, we think Shia LaBeouf really needs to learn to keep his mouth shut. "The Transformers" star says he's leaving big-budget movies behind in favor of indies -- and as usual, he manages to insult everyone along the way.

"I'm done," the 26-year-old tells The Hollywood Reporter. "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."

Of the big studios, he adds that they "give you the money, then get on a plane and come to the set and stick a finger up your a-- and chase you around for five months."

Despite his loose lips, Shia tells the magazine that he "deeply regrets" his negative comments about "Indiana Jones," which offended Steven Spielberg. "He told me there's a time to be a human being and have an opinion, and there's a time to sell cars," he recalls. "It brought me freedom, but it also killed my spirits because this was a dude I looked up to like a sensei." From Shia to Amanda Bynes, click through our slideshow and let us know: Who should quit Hollywood?

    Don't worry; he'll be back. When he remembers how small the paychecks are for indies, and that he has to pay for that big house and fancy lifestyle, he'll be back
    .I wouldn't miss any of them, mainly becuase I don't know who most of them are. And Alec Baldwin, though talented, is a narcissistic idiot.
    Goodbye.

    If someone doesn't want to be there, they shouldn't be there. I give him props for doing what he wants...I just wish he would learn a little more tact when he speaks his opinions.

    If Shia's going to put his foot in this mouth like that, his career as a big-budget actor seems to be finished already. People don't tend to like when you insult them after they've paid you millions of dollars and made you who are today.

    She is so attractive but she just can not act that well. She should consider modeling, and playboy or penthouse very soon.. then travel to Europe and take up a career of spokes-modelling for some magazine there. She was loved as a child star but those followers left when she left Disney. She is a beautiful woman who could be using her talents to provide her self with a life of security and privilege, not acting like a silly drunk and getting into trouble with the law. i wish her all the luck in the world.

    All of them. And everyone who watches those movies should quit while we're at it. Let the artists way open for quality over gimmick...but alas, we're talking about the masses. Entertainment is an excellent means for sedation. As long as we're experiencing a quasi-emotional state, there is no need to investigate the truth.

    The only person that I think should quit Hollywood is Tom Cruise. His acting is atrocious. I only put Amanda Bynes because I've seen her act.

    Not that I'm a huge fan of The Beef, but the whole "visionary" quote was taken out of context. He wasn't referring to himself, but rather filmmakers like Lars Von Trier and Malick. If people like Alec and Rosario are here to allow righties to get on their "libtard" bandwagon, why aren't people like Mel Gibson or Alec's brother Stephen on here? Oh... that's right; because an actor's views outside of his films are something that make about a dog turd's worth of difference. Talent or no talent is the real question. I'm a liberal and I still love Mel's films because he's a really good actor. Who the hell has a problem with Ryan Gosling? Seriously. I'm only choosing Momsen because I watch a lot of films and I've never heard of her.

    and wish they came back.

    There was no "Other" option but Steven Segal, Schwartzenegger (unless it's a comedy like Jingle All the Way,) Billy Baldwin for sure, the guy that plays on Burn Notice who also has one expression just like someone else said about Kristen Stewart. Oh heck her too. They all have one expression and that's not acting.

    He made a movie with Sandra Bullock in 2002 entitled "Murder by Numbers." He did not marry her and he let her get away. He should be banned from Hollywood for being so dumb and blind. He could have saved her from Jesse James!

    If he feels he needs to do other projects, then go. He's an extremely talented actor, perhaps he should exerecise his limits. Personally, I'd like to see him work for Woody Allen. Allen seems to let people "stretch" and find their talent.

    We only get to pick one? Most are so insignificant and really contribute nothing to the well being of our daily lives. They're more interesting in self congratulating reward shows, preening, primping and lately pretending to be politically savvy and for the "common man", while jet setting around, living in multiple mega mansions and wasting more energy and oxygen than a human should. I'm not jealous, I just can stand phoney posturing.

    The only reason I picked him is because you can only pick one. We give these people obscene amounts of money for what they do, take photos of them when their dog is taking a dump, and all too often turn them into self-important, arrogant, sanctimonious jerks. Notice how ol' Shia decided to give up the big money of commercial AFTER he made boatloads of money from commercial films. Now that he's richer than he11 he's onl going to do intellectually stimulating films. (smirk).

    If Shia were an actual adult he would understand that when a studio gives you millions of dollars for a few months work, they have a right to follow you around and make demands. That's how all the "little people" live. You work for someone, they make demands on you. Shia and many other actors need to stop acting like brats and grow up.

    Other than fatty, Baldwin, I don't even know who the others are. So I guess them leaving or stating will make no impression on me at all.
    Of course I should mention that Baldwin's better days are behind him but I guess if he's working he's staying out of politics and won't be harming the rest of us in that way.
