More quotes by Lin-Manuel Miranda
I remind myself Vincent van Gogh died without having sold a single painting. Like, art is not measured by the trappings that people attached to it. It's the thing itself, and so, as you know, it's been a dream of mine to write songs for Disney, and so, it's really exciting to finally hear. It's two and a half years.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I'm the music guy, I get to wear the music hat, but being able to be that guy in the room is a thrill at this level and caliber.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
If you think in terms of topping, you're in the wrong business. You can't think that way.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I got to holler just to be heard.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
It's hard to pick. I mean, I think the one that is most emblematic of the collaboration that occurred is We Know The Way. That's the first song we wrote for the movie [Moana]. We actually got it written that weekend in New Zealand, so we're all in New Zealand, we're all absorbing this culture, and Opetaia [Foa'i] brought it in.

I think you balance the things you've been dying to do all your life. And the opportunities that come along, that you didn't maybe think of, that are so amazing, that you'd kick yourself if you didn't try to be a part of them.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
The distance between where I am and where I want to be seems impossibly large.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I think one of the things that makes theater special is first of all, it's one of the last places you put your phone away. And second of all, it's one of the last places where we all have a common experience together.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I read reviews, I'm not going to lie to y'all. Like you know, I'll read 'em, but then, the next day I'm able to sort of shrug them off. But if something sort of sticks the next day, there's probably something to it. I just sort of really try to trust my gut on, on all that stuff.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I have two wonderful, supportive and very practical parents who were like, you're really talented and really creative. You should be a lawyer because there's a safe path there. And I knew that I was never going to be a lawyer. And I knew that I wanted to make movies, and I wanted to write shows.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I'm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal trying to reach my goal.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
My power of speech, unimpeachable. Only 19 but my mind is older.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
With every word, I drop knowledge.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Well, hello. My name is Lin. But if you're dyslexic, call me Nil.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I'm not going to hang out with celebrities, I'm not going to parties. I have two songs due for Moana next week, and I'm going to go and spend some time with Maui and Moana in the ocean, in my mind.

With every word, I drop knowledge. I'm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal trying to reach my goal.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
It's got to feel, the pulse has to feel like this part of the world, the instrumentation has to be true to that, and so, between him, [composer] Mark Mancina and myself, we really chased that, while serving our story Moana].
