On The Amazing Spider-Man's Interpretation Of Gwen Stacy:
"My introduction to Gwen Stacy is what I think a lot of people know about Gwen Stacy. She's the daughter of the police chief, she grew up on the Upper East Side, she is valedictorian, she's very serious about science, she wants to go to school, she's very responsible, she's the oldest in her family and she really just has this attraction and this slight chemistry when we first meet her with Peter. They kind of couldn't be more different in upbringing; she's got this really stable family and her father is the authority figure of the city [as well as] the family, and she's always been daddy's little girl, and very responsible because of her father. Then Peter is an orphan who lives with his aunt and uncle and is a completely different type of guy than I'm sure her father would imagine her with. I think she sees something heroic in Peter long before he becomes Spider-Man, something different in him than the rest of the kids at school. Not to mention he is great at science, so that's a big turn-on too."
On Gwen's Relationships With Peter Parker And Her Father:
"Obviously Peter acts different after he becomes Spider-Man, and I think there's an element of [Gwen] not being completely sure what is going on with this guy but having this understanding of him that most people don't seem to have. And he has this understanding of her as well. So I think they have this inexplicable thing, but there's a lot of tension in the fact that this is her first love. She's stepping out from under her father's thumb for the first time. She thinks Spider-Man is really cool and her father sees him as a vigilante. And she, independently of Peter, finds him really interesting and is kind of defensive of what's going on with him."
"So she, for the first time in her life, is falling for a man that's not her father. I think there's a really interesting element there that creates tension, both in a household aspect and in trying to figure out this really mysteriosu guy that's so different from her that she has this undeniable pull to."
