 But I went down to Venezuela and spend a few weeks going through jungles. It's fantastic looking. |
| I learn new things all the time. |
| I always have coffee without sugar, you know. Just cream. |

| West Side Story was terribly important because of the style of the dancing and the gangs of New York. |
| Nowadays the audience has changed. No one can anticipate the audience. |
