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!

- 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…

- (Flashback) “Go on,” Robert Mueller said, leaning forward with a glint of curiosity in his eyes. “I’m suddenly very curious about your foundation.” So I talked.

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.

- The production of the third and fourth Potter films was finally underway with Alfonso Cuaron helming the joint project. I couldn’t be happier with the turn of events because Cuaron was one of my favorite directors of all time.

- June 2004, Pittsburgh, PA, USA“I’m a little nervous about the shoot today, Troy,” Emma said softly while sitting beside me. “I don’t think this role is suitable for me.”“Nonsense,” I shot down her insecurities. “It is unsuitable for you only if you think that.”Emma didn’t say anything for a few moments. “I saw the replay of the first week of filming.
