I'd been writing my own coming-of-age story, and I got to take a lot of that energy and a lot of those moments and themes that I wanted to explore in a much smaller film and then apply them to 'Spider-Man: Homecoming.'

I wouldn't say I was a massive comic fan growing up, just because I now know people that really are, and I would never claim to be in that same category.

I think it would be great to have more female directors making huge-budget movies.

It's really cool to do, like, a 'Harry Potter' evolution because you can really take your time with the character development: really, like, don't rush past the implications of great power and great responsibility.

Starting with the lyrics, 'Only scared of myself and the truth in the stars/I'm a king, I'm the dirt, God within me shine,' the first half of '6 Weeks' delves into my attempts to balance the notion that I have an existential purpose with the realization that I am nothing against the vastness of the universe.

We are made to know and love God.

Faith is love taking the form of aspiration.

Early on, you talk about God because you consider Him to be most important. But later, you realize there are means by which God is known and portrayed.
