Miranda talks with "Close Up" host Kelley Carter about how he knows when he’s nailed a lyric, what it’s like writing songs with his kids, and what love advice he’d give his younger self. Plus, hear what Steven Spielberg told him when he snuck onto the "Westside Story" set.

"Close Up" features interviews with Hollywood's biggest names about their individual journeys to stardom, their creative processes and the defining moments in their lives and careers. And each week host Kelley Carter invites fellow industry insiders to share expert insights and unique perspectives on the latest entertainment news.
