“Aunt May's values and Spiderman's traumas are kind of what's defined him as a young boy and now that he's becoming a young man, she's there to provide that safe place where he can still be a kid if he needs to be, or know that he has a home base as he's going through all these physical changes. So as long as those essentials are there, we can work on finding the character together.” IfsKnowsMenNeedsKindMayLongStillsCharacterHomeKidsTogetherYoungValuesBoysBecomingSafeEssentialsFindingsTraumaDefinedYoung ManAuntSafe PlacesHome Base Author:Marisa Tomei
“We would also go to musicals. So Singing In the Rain, On the Town, and West Side Story. Especially West Side Story because played that a lot before VCRs, so that would be something that would be a big deal if it came on, you caught it. So that really started, my family was not in show business at all but really loved that kind of thing.” IfsKindStoriesShowsBigsWould BeSidesDealsSingingRainMy FamilyTownsWestCaughtShow BusinessBig DealWest SideVcrWest Side StorySinging In The Rain Author:Marisa Tomei
“I think the fantasy of being a movie star is more powerful than the reality. So, for me, even if it's not a great film or a great play I'm doing, to know that you went for it. You had an experience that made you grow artistically and personally. What's really satisfying is knowing that you did a good job.” IfsThinkingKnowsMadePlayRealityJobsFilmStarsGrowsPowerfulFantasyKnowingSatisfyingGood JobMovie StarGreat Film Author:Marisa Tomei
