Lin-Manuel Miranda
With every word, I drop knowledge.
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 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.
