On what drew them to the Spider-Man movie:
ANDREW GARFIELD: It took me a month to decide if I wanted to do the screen test, but ultimately it was a no-brainer. I've been a fan of Spider-Man since I was a kid, and I just knew that if I got the chance, there was no possibility of saying no. But there's always a pressure about it, of wanting to honor the thing that you care so much about. It's like a great relationship; it's like taking care of a child, or—
EMMA STONE: You're so intense!
AG: No, I'm not. You get it.
ES: [Laughs] I get it.
EMMA STONE: The idea of it was incredibly daunting. But I really liked the scenes that they sent me, and when I looked into the story of Gwen Stacy, which is epic and tragic and incredible, I loved it so much. Something was telling me that I needed to be her. And then I tested with him, and that sealed the deal. Because meeting Andrew, and working with Andrew—cover your ears, Andrew, earmuffs—
AG: OK.
ES: It was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had.
AG: [Laughs] Yes! Fooled her.
ES: Really, the way he is as an actor is just completely different from anyone I've ever worked with. I never went to school for this, so getting to be a sponge off certain people is very vital to me.
TEEN VOGUE: And what was your first impression of her?
ANDREW GARFIELD: It was like I woke up when she came in. She was the last person to screen-test, and I was so bored of it by then that I was mucking about—I'd been pretending I was Tom Hanks or Seth Rogen. And then she came in, and it was like diving into white-water rapids and having no desire to hang on to the side. Throughout shooting, it was wild and exciting. I couldn't help but try to stay with her, keep pace with her, and not let her get away. [Laughs] Like an animal preying on a smaller animal, but a wily smaller animal.
EMMA STONE: [Giggling] Shhh. That is enough.
TV: In this movie, you play high school students. What were you two actually like in high school?
ES: Well, I was homeschooled in seventh and eighth grades, and I moved out to L.A. when I was fifteen.
TV: So, no prom?
ES: I did go to prom with a friend. Mostly we just sat there like, "So, this is prom."
AG: My school in England didn't have prom. But I did go to a mixed school, girls and boys, so that was exciting. I got into quite a lot of trouble, but I was also very navel-gaze-y as well. Broody.
