I think every writer's had the experience of having a really good idea, waiting to write it, and then once you write it, you're like, Oh I kind of got past the sell by date on this. I'm not connected to the initial spark that was the idea. A lot of that's about staying open.

Lin-Manuel Miranda
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
I got the job [in Moana], and the next day I was on a plane to New Zealand, where the rest of the team was already doing research, and meeting with different choirs, and sort of really soaking up the music, the musical world of, the musical heritage of this part of the world.
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.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I loved musicals. I loved being in the school play and being lucky enough to get parts in the school play. But they always took place in some other time and place.

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
