"Andrew’s passion for the Spider-Man character is present in every frame of the movie. He cares really deeply and was so committed. And I think if any Spider-Man fan saw him on a day-to-day basis, they would deeply respect what he’s brought to this and how much he cared. It’s just undeniable and I really admire that and how much he’s given to the character and to the movie. [His speech in Hall H at Comic-Con] is a perfect example of why Andrew was the right guy. It’s about a loyalty to this thing that really moved him when he was young. He was a skinny kid that felt physically insecure. He wasn’t a big kid, and everybody else was bigger than him and stronger than him and faster than him. That stuck with him and I think that helped define his work ethic in a way. He read a lot of Spider-Man when he was a kid and I think that got under his skin and you could feel that. He wrote that speech, you know. And the e-mails I got from him very early on in the process were filled with a deep expression of love for the character. It’s pretty moving. It’s pretty cool and he really owned it and that I admire. That’s really what he brought to the table, that intense commitment."
