She sighed before looking away, her shoulders sinking a little. “Not directly, of course, but…” When she didn’t say anything else, I stepped forward and gently took her hand in mine. We stood in the quiet dressing room, the hum of backstage activity muffled behind the closed door. “Hey, what is…

- “Aunt Tiffany!” “Midget!” We hugged like long-lost lovers.It might seem a little out of character for me, but I cherished the idea of having a relative like an aunt or a cousin because I didn’t have any biological relatives beyond my mother. Tiffany was very cool with everything, at least the two times we met. I had only met her boyfriend, Beaumont, once, and that too was a brief encounter that didn’t go beyond exchanging pleasantries.“Are you trying to steal my woman?” Beau asked in a…

- With tensions at an all-time high, I was on the edge of my seat when Mum took my hand and squeezed gently. I turned to her in amazement because the camera was on me along with all the nominees, thus I had a smile fixed on my face, but she understood with a mere look what I was feeling deep down. ‘It’s okay,’ she mouthed and I was back to being my normal self instantly.I grinned at her and squeezed her hand back before turning to the stage where Hilary Swank had opened the envelope by now.“And then…

- Evan grunted with great effort as he lifted the heavy barbell placed above him. His arms felt like wet noodles that could bend limply any damn time. The burn was real and he was ready to just give up.“One more rep, you shithead!” Troy yelled at him from above while spotting him. “Come on! You can do it!”That gave Evan just enough confidence to finish the rep.

- I didn’t have the words to describe the feeling of winning my second Oscar before turning 18. On one hand, it felt unimaginably good holding the trophy; on the other, I knew I hadn’t created these songs on my own. In a way, this Oscar didn’t feel like it was fully mine. With these conflicting emotions swirling in my mind, I waited backstage for the next award.Usually, winners are ushered off to give interviews, but since I was nominated in another category immediately following this one, I had been…

- I stood inside the semi-truck just as a crew member opened the door. I leaned lazily against the side, a determined expression on my face as I fired continuous shots at the car speeding beside us. I wouldn’t have been so lax about safety if they hadn’t secured me with ropes to the other side of the truck. Thanks to that, there was no risk of falling out—even if I wanted to.The gun in my hand was, as usual, a fake. It just emitted flashing lights—no actual gunshot sounds. Those would be added in…

As Steve was a US citizen, it wasn’t too difficult to get a visa. At one point, Steve suggested that I give up my British citizenship and become a full-fledged American, but I was hesitant. Thankfully, Kathy…
