ReelzChannel sat down recently with Shia LaBeouf, to talk about his role in Eagle Eye, where he plays a pawn that unwitting becomes one of the country's most-wanted fugitives.

ReelzChannel: You get to kick some butt here. Was it fun?

LaBeouf: Yeah, of course.

RC: You're used to it, though?

LaBeouf: No, I'm not used to it. It's an adventure every time. This is a very different type of action than I'm used to.

RC: Do you feel you're more mature as an actor?

LaBeouf: I'm so mature. It's new for me, you know. I'm growing up and the challenge has changed. This is the most professional, vulnerable position I've ever been in. Movies that I've been in before this had built-in audiences, aside from Disturbia. I hadn't really taken a risk that way, so this is something entirely new and fresh and exciting. I'm happy people are enjoying the movie.

RC: You've already worked with Spielberg. Who's next on the list to work with?

LaBeouf: David Fincher, probably. There's so many. David Fincher would be a good one.

RC: Is Michelle [Monaghan] really a terrible stick shift driver?

LaBeouf: She's actually extremely talented, very good at it. Yes, she's really driving us. She did some wild stuff that's kind of surprising.

RC: Do you get a little nervous doing a car-chase scene?

LaBeouf: No, you play System of a Down. You get amped up. You go to work and get crazy.

RC: Does Michelle like System, too?

LaBeouf: I don't know what she listens to. I get in my own zone. I just start feeling like a soldier. I get so excited. I get amped up. The whole crew is amped up. D.J. [Caruso] plays music and everybody just becomes something else.

RC: You're working with D.J. again. Do you read his mind? Do you know what he wants and he knows what you want?

LaBeouf: We love each other. He's one of my best friends on the planet and we finish each other's sentences. I respect the man, you know, and I love him and I care for him. It's a mutual thing, you know, it's like going to summer camp with your best friend for six months -- big boys and big toys. We have a lot of fun.

RC: How much can you collaborate with him?

LaBeouf: Well, he encourages that. D.J. wants people to question things. He wants to hear every opinion. People play devil's advocate. You talk it over and you rehearse it all. It's just a very different experience than I've experienced with any other director. D.J. has his own method and, as an actor, it's the most enjoyable way to do it.

RC: After you saw this movie, did you want to turn your Blackberry off?

LaBeouf: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

RC: Is it off now?

LaBeouf: Yeah, I don't have one.

RC: Because of this?

LaBeouf: I don't think because of this -- just 'cause I don't want to pay phone bills. But I don't have one on me because we're doing this interview thing right now.

RC: People have compared you to Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. Who do you want to be compared too?

LaBeouf: I don't know. I think comparisons are crazy. You'll never have another one of those guys. Those guys are those guys, and I'm me.
