Emma Stone is on the cover of this week's New York Magazine, and inside the issue she chats all about her new movie, The Amazing Spider-Man. It's a big month for the actress — Emma Stone also covers July's Vogue. Emma did a rather personal interview with one of New York's writers, touching on being high-strung and not obsessed with looks. She also talked around her relationship with Spider-Man costar and real-life boyfriend Andrew Garfield. Here are highlights from Emma Stone in NY Mag:

On sometimes being high-strung: "I project things onto situations that aren't necessarily happening . . . I'll think that someone is saying something or thinking something, and I'll react emotionally as if that were the truth. Sometimes I think someone is whispering to someone else about me, and I get sad, and then I'm reacting like I'm sad for hours when it really isn't happening."
On dating Andrew Garfield: "It's just not necessarily stuff I want the whole world to read and have an opportunity to comment on. I'm sorry, I hate to be that actress who says, 'I don't talk about my personal life.' Eeesh! I was such a fan as a kid, and there were so many people I wanted to know about. I understand it; I just can't bring myself to do it. I freak out having a Facebook."
On thinking about being pretty: "The pretty thing . . . It was never a value to me growing up. I always thought I was like the goofy, wonky one."
