More quotes by Lin-Manuel Miranda
I'm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal trying to reach my goal.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
The distance between where I am and where I want to be seems impossibly large.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Tuesdays and Thursdays, I didn't do any press, I didn't do any meetings, I just wrote all day, 'cause I'd meet, via Skype, with the creative team, at five p.m., and then I would have my seven o'clock curtain.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
It's an enormous relief to go to work and be an actor and not be worried about writing.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
[Opetaia Foa'i] brought in the melody and the lyrics, but the lyrics were in Tokelauan, and so, we talked about what it could mean and whether this could be the ancestor song. So, I started writing English lyrics to sort of the same melody.
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
When you're dealing with a constant rhythm, no matter how great your lyrics are, if you don't switch it up, people's heads are going to start bobbing. And they're going to stop listening to what you're saying, so consistently keep the ear fresh and keep the audience surprised.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
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
The problem is I got a lot of brains but no polish.
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
My power of speech, unimpeachable. Only 19 but my mind is older.
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.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
My sister is as responsible for anyone for giving me good taste in music.
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 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
The theater should always be a safe space.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Ed Koch once said that New York City is where immigrants come to audition for America. That's what happened to my parents that's what happened to me.
