      Genesis Siverio for more emphasis, put ‘*’ either side of the text to make it bold, eg,
      *hello* I love UA-cam and *lin* but don’t put spaces between the ‘*’ and the text so like * hello * but no spaces thought you can have them between words eg * hello I love Lin * minus the spaces

    • @miaclarke6489
      @miaclarke6489 5 років тому +2

      Another tip would be (just for future reference, not this comment or anything) use dashes with no spaces for strike through eg -hi- so like -hi but with the dash both sides

    What a great interviewer! This is really one of the best interviews I've seen with Lin-Manuel, and I believe a lot of that is down to the moderator Dominique Gerard. Lin-Manuel is always brilliant, but I felt he was allowed to elaborate at just the right times, and the whole thing was a great balance between really in depth questions and fun, playful stuff. Thanks!

    This interview is over two years old now, and it’s just before the mid-term elections. The comments that really struck me were about the impact of immigrants on the greatness and strength of this country. ‘Immigrants’ is a beautiful word, not one to be hated or feared as is being portrayed and promoted in current pre-election rallies. Unless you’re a Native American, we’re all immigrants. That important point is too often lost and ignored. Immigrants DO get the job done. They’re the ones who usually do the jobs those who’ve been here a little longer won’t do. They are the ones who really want to achieve more for themselves and their families. .I’m proud to be a child of immigrants, no matter how long ago or how recently my ancestors came here.

    The Adams rap actually is amazing. I love it. It was wise to cut his best rap first and foremost because it didn't serve the show enough.
    He got his JaRule and Ashanti on. Oh sweet mercy. xD!
    Lin talking about Madonna on her phone. Daveed has spoken about Lins eagle eyes and how he could point out people in audience on their phones. xD!
    Lin shouldn't be so sure he won't be talked about for hundreds of years to come. Or that those in the audience won't. No telling what more we'll do with our lives.
    Lin sitting up here preaching.
    "You can't vilify someone and you can't put them in a box if you feel like you know what it's like to be them even a little bit. Or at least it makes it harder." That.
    I love that Lin has developed and maintains a relationship with the evolution of Eliza's orphanage.
    The songs in this game. xD! I'm so done.
    Moana is gorgeous and I adore it. Zootopia is so damn important, it's not funny. Both fantastic movies. I was so happy to hear about Daveed in it, though I didn't know until earlier this week. Thank you informative interviews. XD!

      +Natalie Cook I remember a public speaking teacher in high school talking about that. When you're speaking and use uh, um, hm, etc...it's your mouth trying to catch up to your brain or something like that. Like your thoughts are moving too quickly for you to get them out so you use these pause words to compose your thoughts back into a fluid stream. Don't quote me on that though, it was high school lol
