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

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.

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 am the epitome of coolness.

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.

I got to holler just to be heard.
