Damn Stephen went in hard with those questions because he knew Andrew could handle it. What a wonderful and thoughtful interview we got as a result.

I think this is probably the first Andrew Garfield interview I have seen and I have a whole new level of respect for him

[sarahelmasry]

"Certainty starts war on behalf of ideolgy" Andrew Garfield

[echo]

He should do a TED talk, I wanna hear more from him

[NexxtGames]

I'd love to hear him on a podcast, I could listen to him talk about this stuff for hours. Truly fascinating

[moviegeek]

Colbert can get the deepest interviews of any late night show, by a mile. The last two minutes of this interview were enriching and raw. Respect for both of these guys.

Fallon couldn't do an interview this good in a million years.

[nkyryry]

He's a really intelligent guy. And I love the fact that Colbert actually talks to him. Not about his love life. Not about seeing a Drake concert. But about the process of training to play a priest. Colbert is a Christian and he doesn't hide it. I just love the conversations this guy has with his guests.

[ShubhamKhatdeo]

Andrew... i can't even.. That's too deep man!

[jcthunderable]

this interview was amazing. he's so eloquent and smart. i like him.

[bexg]

This is why I love Colbert's show. Genuinely fascinating and intelligent conversation amongst human beings. I am wildly impressed by Andrew's insight and eloquence.

[elizaheathen]

I teared up at the end when he started saying a life of faith is a life filled with doubt.
I wish more people viewed Christianity this way

[swiftlymurmurs]

Wonderful interview. I think everyone should, at some point, sit down with a person like that for a chat.

[anapaulabazan]

I love how Stephen listens to him and doesnt interrupt Andrew. He gives his guests time to talk and express what they have to say without cracking a joke in the middle of what his guests are trying to portray. Much respect for that

[maggielhyde]

When Andrew first claimed that certainty is terrifying, I was completely confused and thought "what the hell?" But as he followed it up with "certainty starts war on behalf of ideology, " I was totally scared by how truthful this statement is.

[Utuber]

this interview made me a better person

[pranitaprasad]

He is so intelligent and such a fabulous speaker! He expresses his thoughts exceptionally well. I could listen to his interviews all day long

[wyrw]

Get fired from Spiderman might turn out to be great for his career

[NatashaBailie]

Wow - I could listen to him talk for hours - this was incredibly interesting and meaningful. It is so refreshing to watch content that makes you think, question and reflect on life, philosophy and the meaning of it all. If any! Great interview, host and guest.

As a Catholic, I am deeply grateful to him for his commitment to his character in this film. He absolutely emptied himself and it shows in what is an immensely challenging, complex, and spiritually powerful film.
