There's a bigger universe at hand.

It's very important to keep the emotions grounded, to keep the characters in some real place.

One of my life philosophies is that you have a choice to make when you're doing something creative. You can be cheesy... or you can be lame.

When you have to react to a lizard that's a tennis ball, it's a really, really difficult, tricky piece of craft.

When you dont inherit an identity you have to define it on your own.

Nerds are running the world. Andrew Garfield made a movie [called “The Social Network”] about it. Nerds are no longer pariahs and knowing how to write computer code is longer a [mocked] quality. What was important in those early comics was this notion that Peter Parker is an outsider and how we define that in a contemporary context. That, I think, was one of the challenges for us — getting Peter Parker’s outsider status to be current.

I think that if you make something that's relatable then people will attach themselves to it. You can express it in a lot of different ways but I feel like as long as you are consistent and fair with the audience they'll engage irrespective of how they self-identify. I think it just gets too complicated to track all those differences between demographics.
