More quotes by 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
I just remembered when I was an adolescent girl wanting to leave my island and find my calling.
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
Disney's really incredible on story.
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've had a little Hollywood experience, and there's nothing like the Disney story experience.
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.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
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
We get the job done. So what happens if we win?
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.
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
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
My rhymes are gonna kill, so I suggest you write your will and leave your [expletive] to me.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
My power of speech, unimpeachable. Only 19 but my mind is older.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Don't be shocked when your history book mentions me.
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
Sebastian, en Español, is a bad ass name.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
The problem is I got a lot of brains but no polish.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
The distance between where I am and where I want to be seems impossibly large.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
