If you think in terms of topping, you're in the wrong business. You can't think that way.
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.

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 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'm just like my country, I'm young, scrappy and hungry, and I'm not throwing away my shot.
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
I got to holler just to be heard.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I think every writer's had the experience of having a really good idea, waiting to write it, and then once you write it, you're like, Oh I kind of got past the sell by date on this. I'm not connected to the initial spark that was the idea. A lot of that's about staying open.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I've had a little Hollywood experience, and there's nothing like the Disney story experience.
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
No one wants to hear me crooning a ballad.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
