Talking to The Times Of India, Andrew Garfield has once again opened up about his role as the iconic Marvel superhero in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man. Apologies for the odd spelling mistake and lack of hyphen in "Spider-Man", but the answers below are how they were presented at the source.

On Which Aspect Of Peter Parker's Personality He Most Identified With:
I have tried to explore Peter Parker as an orphan. Orphans, I feel, are the strongest human beings on the planet. The amount of things they have to deal with in their lives, is amazing. I have tried to capture how Peter copes with the feelings of being an underdog, his confusions and his self-doubt . This, I hope, has brought, a certain empathy and sensitivity to his character that explains how it helps him become the hero that he eventually turns out to be.
On How His Version Will Differ From Tobey Maguire's:
I love the work that Toby did. I've watched him in the earlier three movies as a fan and I feel that what he did was perfect. I would never even begin to compare myself with him. And I feel it's not the point either. This film is another chapter in the legacy of Spiderman and my responsibility was to remain true to the core of the character . I've tried to do it as best as I could.
On The Stunt Work Required For His Scenes As Spider-Man:
We had a great stunt team led by Andy Armstrong, who knew exactly what he wanted to achieve. And as far as doing the stunt goes, I had never done anything like it before. There were a whole new set of skills to develop and experience. I enjoyed every second of it - well not every second perhaps (laughs). But yes, most part of it, although it was hard work. I hope it shows on the screen.
On The "Challenges" Of His First Kiss With Emma Stone/Gwen Stacy:
Well, I got to practise for that - although on my own, I must add (laughs). I practised kissing on my hand, arms and in the mirror. I was just hoping I'll remember how to kiss when the moment comes and not fumble.
On His Most Memorable Moment On Set:
I'll always remember meeting Stan Lee, the creator of Spiderman. Like the earlier movies, he has a cameo in this one as well. It was incredibly exciting to meet such a legend, who's given so much hope to skinny boys around the world.
