I don't want to make a movie for 100,000 fans that nobody else in the world sees, because I don't think that's good for the character.

I buy my Avengers tickets. But I think people are going to really get into seeing this other side of the world.

I like the little chess match of how people move through space. I'm not comparing myself to Michelangelo with this analogy, but he said when he sculpts it's like finding the sculpture within. It feels that way when you are with actors, too. There's a natural way to do this with a natural language that flows and feels like real people talking. And you've just got to find it. So I enjoy that part of the process.

Peter Parker has superpowers, but he still has trouble making rent every month. I identify with that in a way that I don't with, like, Superman, for instance. He's just less interesting because he's too perfect.

Honestly, the most uncomfortable thing for me is my level of incompetence is uncomfortable.

Being an animator, and I've directed tons of mo-cap, which really is about how do characters move through space.

I function better in an atmosphere of inner insecurity and fear.
