'I think of it as, What's the thing that's not in the world that should be in the world?' Lin-Manuel Miranda, on his playwriting process BROADWAY STAR > 36 Lin-Manuel Miranda An American original By J.J. Abrams So much has been said about Hamilton, I assume you know this already: the musical's embracing of history and rhythm, race and rhyme, melody and passion is an actual stunning event. Tickets are impossible to get for good reason: even in this age of ubiquitous hyperbole, it can safely be said that Hamilton is one of the best things--not just theatrical events--you'll ever see. Lin-Manuel Miranda conceived, wrote and stars in this breakthrough masterpiece, cementing his place as one of the most miraculous creative minds of our time. Like Alexander Hamilton, Miranda is…

'Leadership is about encouraging people. It's about stimulating them. It's about enabling them to achieve what they can achieve--and to do that with a purpose.' Christine Lagarde, on what it takes IMF CHIEF > 60 Christine Lagarde Guardian of the global economy By Janet Yellen No organization is more crucial to the stability of the global economy than the International Monetary Fund. Its decisions affect billions of people, so the person who heads the IMF must be an outstanding, effective leader. Christine Lagarde meets this high standard. She has ably led the IMF through a tumultuous era for the world economy since she was chosen in 2011 by the more than 100 nations that govern the organization. Christine is a trailblazer, the first woman to lead a major international organization…

Time hired me in 1997 with the hope that I would make the magazine relevant to young people, something I have clearly succeeded at. I've kept up on all the cool trends, and lately I've become concerned about the TIME 100's fixation on human beings. The influence of individual people is waning because of technological advances that are democratizing the media, business and taxi driving. Individual animals, meanwhile, are totally waxing. They've got Twitter accounts, product lines, their own television channels and celebrities who not only won't eat them but also won't stop talking about not eating them. This is why I've created the TIME 100 Animals, the definitive list of the most influential animals in the world, which you can find at time.com/Animals100. To do this, I enlisted a…

'The girl next door's face has changed. She does not come from a particular place ... She can be anyone from anywhere.' Priyanka Chopra, on the need for diverse casting ACTOR > 33 Priyanka Chopra A star rising higher By Dwayne Johnson Before ever meeting Priyanka Chopra, I had heard her name coming out of Bollywood and was impressed: she was beautiful, talented, had made nearly 50 movies, earned multiple awards--a massive star. When we connected around the time she started Quantico, we immediately hit it off. She has drive, ambition, self-respect, and she knows there's no substitute for hard work. We always quote the saying "Wear your success like a T-shirt, not like a tuxedo," and she really does--as big a star as she is, as global as she…

'The only way to achieve our full potential is to channel the talents, ideas and contributions of every person in the world.' Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, in an open letter to their daughter PHILANTHROPISTS > 31, 31 Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg The future of giving By Bill and Melinda Gates We admire Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg's vision of an interconnected world where all people have a chance to make the most of their talents. Priscilla and Mark are curious. Ambitious. Thoughtful. Open-minded and bighearted. Willing to learn and grow. And they care deeply about fixing the inequities they see in the world. Mark already built a company that changed the way people connect, and Priscilla devoted herself to the health and well-being of children by becoming a…

'I want to do something as good as my heroes have done.' Leonardo Dicaprio, on what motivates him ACTOR AND ENVIRONMENTALIST > 41 Leonardo DiCaprio Earth's leading man By John Kerry When I first read how Leonardo DiCaprio slept in an animal carcass and gnawed on raw bison to transform himself into Hugh Glass, I may have felt a little queasy--but I can't say I was surprised. Leo's talent is limitless, but his secret has always been pretty simple: he's real. He does his homework. He knows what he's talking about. That's how he takes himself back in time 200 years to create an Oscar-winning, bear-brawling, powerhouse performance in The Revenant. Preparation, authenticity and smarts are at the core of who he is as an artist. But I admire him…
