More quotes by 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'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
With every word, I drop knowledge.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I'm past patiently waitin,' I'm passionately smashin' every expectation, every action's an act of creation.
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
The distance between where I am and where I want to be seems impossibly large.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Disney's really incredible on story.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy and hungry, and I'm not throwing away my shot.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I've had a little Hollywood experience, and there's nothing like the Disney story experience.
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 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
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 theater should always be a safe space.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
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
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 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
If you think in terms of topping, you're in the wrong business. You can't think that way.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
