I'm so critical of my own work that it's difficult for me to disassociate myself and watch it as an audience.

You live for those really great scenes where you almost feel that the film has gone beyond what was printed on the script pages and been raised to another level.

When I first saw Spiderman, I had no idea who he was. I later read in an article that he doesn't work much because he only picks projects he believes in.
