Lin_Manuel: Anyway, I needn’t have worried.
Here’s my friend Roger. Roger has always been my tallest friend and he remains my tallest friend

Lin_Manuel: Here’s my friend Jillian. We were 2 of the 5 Latino kids in our whole grade in elementary school…

Lin_Manuel: Okay here’s my humor column, just me being extra about hip-hop, I haven’t changed a f*ckin iota (with some redacted names to protect nice folks who didn’t ask for this)

Lin_Manuel: So I left my 20 year reunion gratefully relearning what I already knew going in: Christ I’m lucky.

From that interview:

You should have Guillermo del Toro direct an episode!
I’d love it! He can direct “Halloween”!

One-hundred percent he should.
I’d love that. I don’t know if it’s possible, but I love that. And Lin-Manuel Miranda should play one of Amy’s brothers!

It was just this crazy, overwhelming, heartwarming thing! And the thing that was really nice also was the things people said about the show – they were reacting consciously to the elements of the show that we try to make, but also try not to wave our hands and say, “we’re doing this.” People really responded to the fact that it’s a very diverse cast, that it feels very inclusive, that the jokes aren’t at the expense of characters. Those are all things we try to do and it was really heartwarming to see those were the things people liked about the show.
