Emma Stone: The Cool Girl

GLAMOUR: Of all the careers you could have picked, this was the craziest, no?

EMMA STONE: But it got me out of that. It made me feel great. I started doing improv the year after my tough two years. It helped.

GLAMOUR: Did you finish high school?

EMMA STONE: I have my GED—my "good-enough degree."

GLAMOUR: [Laughs.] Do you think you'll go to college?

EMMA STONE: There's so much I'm interested in that I didn't discover in high school. For The Amazing Spider-Man, because Gwen is a scientist, we went to a lab in San Diego, and we were learning about biology. And I'm fascinated! Because I never went to biology class in high school. [Laughs.]

GLAMOUR: You once said that if you weren't an actress, you'd want to be a journalist.

EMMA STONE: I really like grammar. And spelling. I was a spelling-bee kid. I'm hard-core about grammar.

GLAMOUR: What if a guy you're dating is a bad speller in an e-mail? Does that bug you?

EMMA STONE: It's tough. Really tough. The wrong "you're"? The wrong "they're"? Doesn't that bug you? Because…ugh…I hate it.

GLAMOUR: What do you look for in a guy?

EMMA STONE: Honestly, I cannot put a finger on it. One guy could do something that I would find deplorable, and [with] another guy I'd find it charming…. It depends on the person. The one thing that needs to be there is that indefinable spark of sorts. But I'm 22 years old….I have no idea what I'm talking about. [Laughs.]

GLAMOUR: You're playing Ryan Gosling's love interest in Crazy, Stupid, Love.

EMMA STONE: Yeah, ugchh. [Makes a sarcastic grossed-out face and laughs.]

GLAMOUR: [Laughs.] You also have The Amazing Spider-Man coming up next.

EMMA STONE: It's different than anything else I've done. There's a lot of blue screen. The other day I was reacting to a thing that wasn't there. It's like being a kid in a refrigerator box.

GLAMOUR: Is there anyone you'd be a wreck meeting?

EMMA STONE: Diane Keaton. [Meeting her] is like going underground at Disneyland: "You're so magical, and now I know you!" Steve Martin, too. The Jerk is my favorite movie.

GLAMOUR: You really have an old comedy soul.

EMMA STONE: I'm just a product of my parents. They watched SNL and all those movies.

GLAMOUR: You seem really fit. Do you feel pressure to measure up to the skinny Hollywood standard?

EMMA STONE: Aw, boy…I'd be crazy to sit here and tell you that I've never thought about it. [But] I never can beat myself up about it. I definitely am not restrictive. [Laughs.] You're a human being, you live once and life is wonderful, so eat the damn red velvet cupcake.

GLAMOUR: Amen.
