September 2003, Kloves Residence, LondonI had thought that now that I was home, everything would be alright. But it wasn’t. Just because I had returned home didn’t mean the world would forget what happened. And the media was milking it for all it was worth.“Today, we are here in the studio with Mrs. Chloe Vlahos,” an American female reporter was saying. “Mother of Gia Vlahos, who has been apprehended for allegedly breaking and entering in the home of one Troy Armitage. Gia Vlahos has also been…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- Sundar Pichai adjusted his glasses and straightened in his chair just as the camera light flicked on, signaling the start of the recording. “Thank you for agreeing to this conversation, Sundar,” the woman seated across from him, Prim, said warmly. “We’re interviewing you today for young and emerging entrepreneurs around the world.” “The pleasure’s all mine,” he replied with an easy smile. “Tell us how you reached this point,” she continued. “Today, Phoenix isn’t just one of…

- January 2005, Phoenix, ArizonaI took a generous amount of my special blend of face cream and carefully applied it to my skin. I like to think that I’m not that vain, but I have to maintain an image while going out. Although I’m not expecting paparazzi or reporters here in Phoenix, you never know.“I think you are overdoing it for this date,” Tobias commented from behind me.I looked at him through the mirror and said, “It’s not a date. Emily invited me to hang out with a group of her friends. I…

- May 2010, New York City, New York “How are things?” I asked casually. Judging by the eager faces around the table, things were good. At the very least, no one looked worried. The meeting itself was informal by design. No one wore suits, and the whole vibe was chill. I preferred it that way, no rigid agendas, no stiff presentations. Just people talking honestly. “Things are great,” Chad Hurley, the CEO of YouTube, said with barely contained excitement. “We’re finally profitable.” I…

- @FireStarter12: WTF!? Someone just tried to kill Troy in his own home! It’s all over the news… 😭 This is beyond messed up. I get that people are mad at him, but this doesn’t mean they can try to kill him. @LunaBliss: OMG! I hope he’s okay. I can’t believe our people would stoop so low as to attempt murder on a teenager who just made some money. @SereneDreamer: When will people grow up and get a life? I hate those people who take the law into their own hands. If you have such a problem…

- After that day, the shooting progressed relatively smoothly. There were days when we could get as much as 10 scenes in a day and there were days when even one scene was difficult to wrap up.But the overall shooting experience was very good. I learned a lot from the director, the camera/sound crew, and my co-actors. One of the most difficult things as an actor is to make sure to know where to look or stand for that matter. Or as they call it, 'to hit the mark'.This may seem trivial to a layman, but we have…

- Scarlett stared at me with her mouth slightly open, completely stunned. For a moment, she looked frozen in time. I stayed on one knee for almost a full minute, waiting patiently, but she still didn’t say anything. The silence felt heavier with every passing second. "Yes, no, maybe?" I asked finally. "Come on, say something. My knee is hurting." "Get up then," she instructed, sounding composed again. "Let’s discuss this before I answer you." That was not what I expected. I hadn’t ever…

- James Cameron was undoubtedly the biggest film director in the world. Not only did he make and , he also made , , , and . It was such a shame that, in my adult lifetime, he would dedicate himself solely to and its sequels.Initially, I had wanted to invest in the film series, but Fox had put their foot down. Apparently, they already had all the financiers they needed, and no one was willing to let me buy them out. They were all hoping for a miracle similar to Titanic, so no one wanted out. With that…

- January 2005, Kloves Residence, London It took half of November and the entirety of December to finalize the screenplay and the songs for our untitled musical film. The musical part was tricky because I had to change nearly half of my song list to make it fit better with the story. Honestly, it was good that I had this to work on or I would spiral back into depression. I hadn’t realized till now how much time of the day I spent texting/talking to Emma. Now only the difficult part remained before…

- I looked over at the bustling set, where everyone seemed too busy doing something—everyone but me.“Got your script for the day?”I turned to my left and saw my mother standing beside me, watching me curiously. This was the first time in many years we had been on set together where she wasn’t just visiting. She looked completely at ease here, the confident grin on her face making that clear.“Yeah,” I replied. “I’ve memorized it too. I’m a little nervous about it, but still, I have a feeling…
