I still look at that water, and I look at Moana's hair, and I'm just like, How is this even happening? It's such an incredible mix of technical mastery and wizardry. It's really incredible. It's layers and layers and layers. It's not unlike building a musical. It's really pretty cool.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I got to holler just to be heard.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
My sister is as responsible for anyone for giving me good taste in music.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I think I started writing because no one had ever told me you can write about the things you know in a musical. They don't have to come from some far off place.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Once George Washington said, I have to step down the so the country can move on.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
My rhymes are gonna kill, so I suggest you write your will and leave your [expletive] to me.
