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 function better in an atmosphere of inner insecurity and fear.

Marvel does a great job of making their characters human.

I think if you do what I want to do creatively, it will also make money for you.

Compassion is the intention to see each human being as no better or worse than yourself, neither more nor less important, and as fundamentally similar to yourself.

Attention is the intention to live without reservation in the here-and-now.

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.
