I was in Siena and decided I wanted to write a story set there. Then I discovered that the original story of Romeo and Juliet was set in Siena. It occurred to me that this was too much of a gift - I had to do it. That's how I ended up writing a parallel story to Romeo and Juliet. Anne Fortier

You Together People Will Never Animation Like Toy Gosh Go Opposite Were Singular Very Getting May Oh Story Movies Room Lucky Even Appeared Tom Tom Hanks Play

'East of Eden' is an important story for me. It's about a kid that's misunderstood and feels like he's not loved by his father.

I was always enjoying the moment. Acting, writing, looking for roles and getting involved with people and trying to create something that would be entertaining to people.

When I came to the last line of 'Car Crash While Hitchhiking,' I read it as a pitiless statement of indifference: a refusal to warn the family of their impending collision, a refusal to help when miraculously spared, a refusal to act on the empathy hiding behind the story's language. Anthony Marra

Family Language Car Statement Hiding Miraculously Indifference Collision Impending Empathy Read Came Line Behind Refusal Crash Story While Spared Warn Act Help Last
