"I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life. The reason I even wanted to be in this business is because my mom would sit me in front of the TV and [West Side Story] would come on once a year. I was mesmerized and was like, 'That’s what I want to do.' This is the first time I actually got to do it. This man made my dream come true."
