More quotes by Miguel

Miguel
I know I'm a very dynamic performer. Once you come to the show, you're gonna want to have the album. I think it's more about showing people that it's OK to share similarities, but it's more important to embrace your individuality.
Miguel
The extremes of who I'd love to be onstage are David Bowie, Prince, and, I don't know, Bjork.
Miguel
I believe dreams represent the purest form of fantasy we unleash through our subconscious. They represent the truest freedom we can experience. Totally unrepressed and totally creative.
Miguel
When I'm a part of someone else's creative process, it's all about facilitating their ideas and hopefully bringing their perspective and making it a part of a song.
Miguel
I can write hundreds of songs on simple power chords.
Miguel
I think what I'm trying to build is a reputation for evolving and for change. Because of the rate of information that we have access to at this point, it's almost hard not to be ever-growing.
Miguel
I think I'll always make music that sounds different from what is current, but I doubt that it'll sound consistently the same as what I've been doing.
Miguel
I've always had this tremendous and very deep feeling of knowing my purpose, you know? It never dawned on me, it always very much known.
