Andrew Garfield feels "more confident" in spandex.
The 30-year-old actor reprises his role as the famed comic book character in 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' and insists the blue and red costume he wears helps him to feel more like his heroic alter-ego.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I actually had more confidence for the second film because Spider-Man is more confident.
"When Peter puts on Spandex, he gets to save people's lives. When he's just Peter, he's got to deal with being just Peter. It's the same with me."
Although he was forbidden from taking his character's outfit for a keepsake he managed to smuggle the tight jumpsuit by hiding it in his suitcase.
When asked if movie bosses allow him to keep the infamous outfits after filming, he previously said: "You know what, they don't, but I may have stolen one and it may be in my luggage, it may be in my hotel room luggage. It may even be in my back pack in the car. It's possible."
Garfield - who has been dating his co-star Emma Stone for the past three years - also admits he goes a little "crazy" when he isn't busy acting.
He added: "When I'm not being creative and acting, I have to deal with myself and I go a bit crazy. If I was going through what I'm going through now when I was 16, I probably would have ended up in jail."

Channing Tatum would "die" for a role in 'X-Men'.
The '21 Jump Street' star has admitted he's been meeting with producers of the sci-fi films and has been discussing the possibility of taking on the role of Gambit, who he says he relates to because of their shared heritage.
He said: "I met with Lauren Shuler Donner. And I would love it. Gambit is really the only X-Man I've ever loved.
"I mean I've loved them all, they're all great, but I guess from being down south - my dad's from Louisiana, I'm from Mississippi, Alabama, Florida - I don't know. I just relate to him."
Gambit, a Marvel character who appeared in 2009 film 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' played by Taylor Kitsch, is often referred to as a ladies man and Tatum loves that he's not much of a superhero.
He explained to MTV News: "He's just kind of suave...He's the most un X-Men X-Man that's ever been in X-Men. Other than maybe Wolverine, who's like the anti-hero. He's a thief. He's not even a hero. He's kind of walking the line of grey.
"He loves women and drinking and smoking and stuff so he's just a cool guy who happens to have a moral centre...I hope it [comes together]."
The 33-year-old actor confessed that although there's been no confirmation he is already practicing for the role.
He said: "You never know it's a weird industry. If the stars align, I would die to play it. I'm already working on the accent. It's crappy at the moment."
The next instalment in the series 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' is set for release next month.

Sam Claflin found filming 'The Quiet Ones' difficult.
The 27-year-old actor admits shooting a horror movie without having music or sound effects to react to was a challenging experience, but thinks seeing the resulting behind-the-scenes footage would make for a great comedy.
He said: "During filming we found it reasonably difficult, not going to lie. Trying to film a horror movie without the music or sound effects to react to, instead you have a director behind the camera going 'screech', 'scrape','bang', 'door slam', it's how it works. And you're going, 'Is this gonna be scary? I don't know if it works...'
"I think it would make for a great comedy, to do a really bad horror movie and to see a behind-the-scenes of what really happens on a horror movie."
Claflin enjoyed researching his role of Brian McNeil in the 1970s-set movie because he got the chance to learn how to use the technology of the period.
Talking on Radio One, he explained: "For me, there was a huge research to do into the 1970s film equipment, you have your camera and editing stuff, which I needed to learn to do, so I went on a couple of courses.
"Working with the equipment it was amazing, learning how to cut film reels and staple them back together."

Anthony Mackie says little girls "deserve" a Wonder Woman movie.
The Hollywood hunk has called for a film to be made about the iconic female superhero regardless of budget needed to do so, because she would make a good role model.
Mackie told geekdad.com: "Scarlett [Johansson] does great representation of [Black Widow] for all the other girls, but there should be a Wonder Woman movie.
"I don't care if they make 20 bucks, if there's a movie you're gonna lose money on, make it Wonder Woman. You know what I mean, because little girls deserve that.
"There's so many of these little people out here doing awful things for money in the world of being famous. And little girls see that. They should have the opposite spectrum of that to look up to."
Meanwhile, Mackie hits the big screen in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' and was overcome with emotion when he landed the role of The Falcon.
The 35-year-old actor gushed: "When I first got this [Captain America] role I just cried like a baby because I was like, 'Wow, next Halloween, I'm gonna open the door and there's gonna be a little kid dressed as the Falcon', that's the thing that always gets me. I feel like everybody deserves that."

Arnold Schwarzenegger had to dye his hair grey for 'Sabotage'.
The 66-year-old hunk hits the big screen in the action thriller where he plays the commander of an elite squad of DEA operatives, John 'Breacher' Wharton, and wasn't pleased about his new look which didn't suit him.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I wore a hat all the time I was off set because people would say, 'Jesus, you look weird.'"
Schwarzenegger trained with a real-life SWAT team at director David Ayer's request but he couldn't understand why he needed to do so.
He explained: "I told him, 'Why do I need weapons training? I've shot more people than anyone in the industry and I've killed more people than anyone?'"
The role was physically demanding and his fitness routine helped him cope with filming the intense scenes.
Schwarzenegger added: "I always have an hour in the morning of cardiovascular and then 45 minutes to an hour at night with the weights.
"It gives you the advantage when you have a crazy director who says, 'I want you to be in top shape, we are going to run up the stairs 50 times and break through the doors!'"

Jesse Eisenberg will star alongside Bill Pullman and Tony Hale in 'American Ultra'.
The 'Social Network' actor began filming for the action-comedy yesterday (14.04.14) and it's now been revealed that 'Independence Day' star Bill Pullman and 'Arrested Development' funny man Tony Hale have been confirmed to complete the cast.

Tilda Swinton hopes vampires will wear gloves in future films.
The 53-year-old actress stars in 'Only Lovers Left Alive' as blood-sucking Eve and while working on the film she insists the cast and crew wanted to use traditional vampire elements but incorporate their own twist which she hopes catches on.
She told collider.com: "This fancy dress was really fun to work out. Of course because we were creating these creatures that had to have a similar specialness there was a lot of working it out ... [We worked out] how we could look at vampire law, take what we liked and make some new stuff up. For example, a new piece of mythology that they wear gloves all the time. We are hoping new vampire films will incorporate these gloves things."
Swinton - who earned the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance in 'Michael Clayton' in 2008 - recently revealed she struggled to get meaningful roles when she started her acting career and knew she would be "a bit off an outsider" until she got older.
She explained: "I was never going to be bimbo material. So I just kept my head down in my 20s. I had this strange instinct that I would only begin to start my real work in my 40s."
