More quotes by Lin-Manuel Miranda
The theater should always be a safe space.
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
It's got to feel, the pulse has to feel like this part of the world, the instrumentation has to be true to that, and so, between him, [composer] Mark Mancina and myself, we really chased that, while serving our story Moana].
Lin-Manuel Miranda
We get the job done. So what happens if we win?
Lin-Manuel Miranda
My power of speech, unimpeachable. Only 19 but my mind is older.
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.

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
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 got to holler just to be heard.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
My kid gets me out of bed in the morning.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Don't be shocked when your history book mentions me.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I feel like style is like accent. You don't hear it on yourself, and then everyone's like, man, you got a strong accent.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
The distance between where I am and where I want to be seems impossibly large.
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've had a little Hollywood experience, and there's nothing like the Disney story experience.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Disney's really incredible on story.
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
Sebastian, en Español, is a bad ass name.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I had the good fortune of being 9 years old when The Little Mermaid came out, that whole run of really beautiful Disney musicals, and so, the fact that I got to interview with Ron [Clements] and John [Musker], who directed The Little Mermaid, I was, like, I just walked in and said, You're the reason I'm even here.
