Lin-Manuel Miranda's quotes

  • 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.
  • The way I hold a ten-dollar bill is different now, because, like, that's my dude.
  • [at a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood] Women are 50% of the world's population. Men can't sit idle if half the people around them don't have access to the care they need to lead healthy and productive lives.
  • [on Puerto Rico reeling from Hurricane Maria] In a weekend where everyone who had family on the island was having trouble reaching them, our President was tweeting about football. I'll never forget that. I don't think history will ever forget that.
  • I can be as snarky and cynical as the next person. However, we get to choose what we put out in the world. I try to put out what I would like back.
  • [on the original 'Mary Poppins' film] I had the VHS cassette and loved the first two-thirds, but 'Feed the Birds' would always make me too sad and then I would turn it off.
