Lin-Manuel Miranda
I got to holler just to be heard.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I got the job [in Moana project] about six months before we started rehearsals. No, seven and a half months before we started at the Public, and so, it's been my ocean of calm throughout the Hamilton phenomenon.

My rhymes are gonna kill, so I suggest you write your will and leave your [expletive] to me.
