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
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
It's an enormous relief to go to work and be an actor and not be worried about writing.
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 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
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

With every word, I drop knowledge.
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.
