Sebastian, en EspaƱol, is a bad ass name.
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 think one of the things that makes theater special is first of all, it's one of the last places you put your phone away. And second of all, it's one of the last places where we all have a common experience together.
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
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
The theater should always be a safe space.

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
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
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've had a little Hollywood experience, and there's nothing like the Disney story experience.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Well, hello. My name is Lin. But if you're dyslexic, call me Nil.
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
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
Once George Washington said, I have to step down the so the country can move on.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
The distance between where I am and where I want to be seems impossibly large.
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
I'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy and hungry, and I'm not throwing away my shot.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
My rhymes are gonna kill, so I suggest you write your will and leave your [expletive] to me.
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
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.
