More quotes by Lin-Manuel Miranda

No one wants to hear me crooning a ballad.
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 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
My power of speech, unimpeachable. Only 19 but my mind is older.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I'm a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal trying to reach my goal.

I'm past patiently waitin,' I'm passionately smashin' every expectation, every action's an act of creation.
