On his work
Translated · paraphrased
He is one of the most talented actors I have ever worked with.
Andrew is a remarkable young actor, but you cannot tell his real age — none of us could say whether he is 22 or 32, so he can play anyone. He has firm convictions and strong principles, and a real gift for acting.
From a school stage to the brightest spotlight in Hollywood, Garfield has left the life of a bit player behind. “With great power comes great responsibility” reads almost as a footnote to his career — except that for Andrew, the responsibility is not letting the Spider-Man suit narrow his horizons.
