When the mic was set up, I turned to Oprah, “The song I’m playing is one that I wrote when I had a fight with my best friend. We haven’t talked in a while because I was busy shooting, so Evan, consider this an apology from me. This is the first time I’m playing it in front of anyone, so don’t be too harsh on me.”Oprah’s eyes widened slightly as I announced that.

, initially released in just 150 theaters, experienced an unprecedented expansion to 3,150 theaters across North America.

Dad, who had been in Los Angeles for work for the past few weeks, was finally back home—and he wasted no time berating me all over again. “You’re being obtuse,” he said, disappointment evident in his tone. “Did you forget that by pushing this idea, you’re not just hurting Warner Bros., but us as well? You get 10% of ’s revenue. If you breach the contract on your…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

“So you’re telling me,” I began slowly, “that Steven Spielberg offered me the lead role in his next film and you declined? That’s why he’s mad at me?”“Yes,” Mum looked uncomfortable at my scrutiny. “You are doing films non-stop, Troy. At this speed, you’ll burn out.”“But then he’ll be extra harsh against and even against me later in my life!” I whined. “That’s so unfair!”“That’s life, get used to it,” Dad commented drily. “Moreover, Spielberg is not the only big…- 961.0 K • Ongoing

Now only the difficult part remained before…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
