When I first saw Emma Stone, it was like I woke up.

I have to remember that I didn't have to become an actor. I didn't have to put myself in this position. If I'd wanted to have autonomy - if that was what I was after - then I could have chosen another profession.

America always seemed to me this foreign land that I imagined I could escape to if I needed to get away - and I think that came both from the fact that I was born there and from watching so many American movies when I was a kid. I was brought up on American films.

As an actor, one is so appreciative when one is working. I think I am lucky that I have the opportunity to work having that total dependence on an external validation.

Spider-Man has always been a symbol of goodness and doing the right thing and looking after your fellow man.

I don't believe anyone is ugly.

My parents signed me up for classical guitar lessons, which made for two years of the most depressing Wednesday evenings.
