"Saya menderita di West Side Story. Mereka benar-benar salah pilih saya. Saya datang dari Midwest; yang benar-benar mereka butuhkan adalah seorang pria yang pintar jalanan. Pertama kali saya menonton film, saya harus keluar. Saya tampak seperti buah terbesar yang pernah berjalan di film. Karakter saya sangat lemah."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

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.
