"On a Saturday morning this spring, Andrew Garfield, 28, emerges from a Manhattan townhouse and slips into an SUV. Though he&amp;amp;#8217;s dressed down in a hoodie, his crazy, electric hair is recognizable to anyone who&amp;amp;#8217;s seen The Social Network or paparazzi shots of him holding hands with his girlfriend, Emma Stone, 23. They star together in The Amazing Spider-Man, the franchise reboot that&amp;amp;#8217;s set to make the skinny-necked Brit one of the biggest stars on the planet. On the drive to Broadway, where he&amp;amp;#8217;s playing son Biff in Death of a Salesman alongside Philip Seymour Hoffman, Garfield talks to Glamour about his impending fame. He sounds unfazed, but if the autograph seekers waiting at the theater are any indication of what&amp;amp;#8217;s to come, he&amp;amp;#8217;d better get ready, and quick. GLAMOUR: You&amp;amp;#8217;re about to star in a huge blockbuster. How does that feel? ANDREW GARFIELD: It&amp;amp;#8217;s hard. All I want is to be a person who can ask someone for directions or go to a diner and complain about a gross grilled cheese. GLAMOUR: Soon you won&amp;amp;#8217;t be able to. AG: I just have to keep reminding myself&amp;amp;#8230;. You know Carl Sagan? GLAMOUR: Yes. [Sagan was a famous American astronomer and author.] AG: He has a great quote. Let me see if I can pull it up. [Reading on his phone.] &amp;amp;#8220;Look again at that dot. That&amp;amp;#8217;s here. That&amp;amp;#8217;s home. That&amp;amp;#8217;s us. On it everyone you love&amp;amp;#8230;every human being who ever was, lived out their lives&amp;amp;#8230;on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.&amp;amp;#8221; GLAMOUR: You just have this on your phone, ready to go when you need it? AG: I have it in my photo library. I take it to mean that when opportunities arise, you should dive in. I try not to take [life] seriously, which is hard, because I tend to be too serious. I mean, I have Carl Sagan on my phone! [Laughs.] GLAMOUR: Now I&amp;amp;#8217;d like to read you a quote about you! It&amp;amp;#8217;s from a girlfriend of mine: &amp;amp;#8220;He&amp;amp;#8217;s so spindly and hot. I want to feed him sandwiches.&amp;amp;#8221; AG: Spindly! [Laughs.] That&amp;amp;#8217;s so funny because I eat a lot of sandwiches! And I remain spindly. I&amp;amp;#8217;m constantly eating, and I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know where it goes. Like, into my toenails or something. GLAMOUR: Do you feel self-conscious about being skinny? AG: My insecurity has diminished as I&amp;amp;#8217;ve gotten older. Doing Spider-Man is wonderful because he&amp;amp;#8217;s a skinny kid beating the crap out of huge guys! GLAMOUR: Did you have to bulk up for the movie? AG: It was horrible, hard work. It was every day, for two hours a day, for many, many months, and it&amp;amp;#8217;s no fun. GLAMOUR: You were a gymnast growing up. Did you do your own flips as Spider-Man? AG: Yes, I did. I wanted to do more, but they wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t let me. If I died, it would have been really hard for them to finish the movie. [Laughs.] GLAMOUR: What do you DVR to relax? AG: Saturday Night Live. I recorded the U.S. gymnastics team leading up to the Olympics. And I watch nineties shows on Nickelodeon a lot. It&amp;amp;#8217;s like Kenan &amp;amp;amp; Kel, Rugrats, Doug, and Hey Arnold! It&amp;amp;#8217;s all the shows from my childhood, and it&amp;amp;#8217;s comforting after doing an intense play like this. GLAMOUR: What&amp;amp;#8217;s your ideal date? AG: &amp;amp;#8220;Meet me at an airport, and we&amp;amp;#8217;re going to jump on the next flight out.&amp;amp;#8221; GLAMOUR: You&amp;amp;#8217;re a romantic! AG: Yes, I have to be. That&amp;amp;#8217;s all I know. GLAMOUR: What&amp;amp;#8217;s your biggest turn-on? AG: Honesty is a turn-on. I just love someone who&amp;amp;#8217;s confident and challenges me. It&amp;amp;#8217;s possible to have many types of connections&amp;amp;#8212;emotional, intellectual, and physical. It&amp;amp;#8217;s purely luck if you find that person, and it&amp;amp;#8217;s like &amp;amp;#8220;vroom,&amp;amp;#8221; and it makes sense. There&amp;amp;#8217;s something kind of terrifying and exhilarating about it. GLAMOUR: Ryan Gosling once said, &amp;amp;#8220;Show me a man who wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t give it all up for Emma Stone, and I&amp;amp;#8217;ll show you a liar.&amp;amp;#8221; Do you agree? AG: I think she&amp;amp;#8217;s a phenomenal person. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t talk about anything personal, but I can talk about working with her. She&amp;amp;#8217;s such a huge talent and just full of life. She&amp;amp;#8217;s incredibly spontaneous and present, so every moment is something new and something unexpected&amp;amp;#8212;to work with that is the ultimate thing. Really, I could talk for a long time about it. She&amp;amp;#8217;s going places. [Smiles.] You know what I mean? She&amp;amp;#8217;s going to be fine.
