No one wants to hear me crooning a ballad.

If you're thinking about the idea in the shower. If you're thinking about the idea while you're walking your dog, there's probably something to it.

The distance between where I am and where I want to be seems impossibly large.

The theater should always be a safe space.

I am not throwing away my shot.

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.

I have been working on this movie [Moana] since before Hamilton happened.
