'West Side Story' I used to watch all the time - I don't know why. Well, I do - it's a great movie. I love the music in it. I love the actors.

Along with its enchanting and exquisite melodies, West Side Story has attitude and a tremendous amount of frenetic energy. It's emotional, theatrical and technical. It's everything.

As a matter of fact, I find the Western cinema very fantastic.

I'm not really a big musical fan. I enjoyed 'West Side Story' when it came out, but it gets a bit tired in the end.

'Once Upon a Time in the West' is one of my favorite films.

I love a bit of political drama; 'The West Wing' is probably my favourite television series of all time.

I loved 'The West Wing'; it's my favourite-ever television show.

Whether it's 'The West Wing' or anything else, my first thought is always, 'What's a good story?'

I was miserable in West Side Story. They really miscast me. I came from the Midwest; what they really needed was a guy that was street smart. The first time I saw the movie, I had to walk out. I looked like the biggest fruit that ever walked on to film. My character was so weak.

I was about seven or eight years old when I first heard West Side Story, and it had a huge impact on me. If you look at the elements of that record, it contains many of the things I enjoy doing today.
