I feel incredibly awkward as a human being and incredibly teenaged still.

Famous people scare me. I get really nervous around famous people. ... I overcompensate (with) how unimpressed I am, which is completely and utter rubbish. So I'm a fan.

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

One of the amazing things about Spider-Man is that you don’t see skin colour when he’s in the suit. You don’t see any religious beliefs. A hero is a hero, whether you’re a man, woman, gay, lesbian, straight, black, white or red all over ― it doesn’t matter.

As an adolescent, Spider-Man was what got me through tough times in terms of being a skinny kid.

I've gone through my whole life caring deeply what people think of me.

Peter (Parker) is not that evolved. Peter wants to tell the world he's a good guy: ' Like me, I'm nice.' He's a 19 year-old kid. He's a kid struggling with being misunderstood. We've all been misunderstood. That's universal too. I like being Peter.
