My Darling Dear

Shailene Woodley is featured in the August issue of Marie Claire to promote her new film The Spectacular Now. Highlights from the interview are below.

On working alongside Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spider-Man 2: “Andrew [Garfield, who plays Peter Parker] brings the human factor to his characters,” and “Emma [Stone, who plays Gwen Stacy] is a very strong woman—I feel empowered by her. We connected on a personal level, and helped each other on some personal things.”

On how she relates to her character Tris in Divergent: “We are similar in many ways. She constantly struggles between two worlds, the old and the new. I struggle in real life trying to balance my natural connection to the earth and the somewhat materialistic side of the industry I am in.”

On who she would love to work with: “To work with Ewan McGregor, Mélanie Laurent, or Mark Ruffalo would be pretty epic.”
