More quotes by 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
It doesn’t matter how much you love someone, you are never going to be what that person wants you to be.
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.
Miguel
I feel that as artists - whatever your medium is - I feel that we're watching what goes on around us and we take what we don't see, or we don't hear, or we don't feel and we do something that speaks of it more about it, for it, or against it - whatever our perspective is - that's what our job is.
Miguel
I associate creativity with independent music.
Miguel
I think in a world where everyone wants to categorize and compartmentalize and rationalize, it's OK to be different.
Miguel
You can't take yourself too seriously. But always have conviction.
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 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
If you look at any religious description of hell, it is the same as human society, the way we dream. Hell is a place of suffering, a place of fear, a place of war and violence, a place of judgment and no justice, a place of punishment that never ends.
Miguel
The manifestation of the disease of fear is anger, hate, sadness, envy, and hypocrisy the result of the disease is all the emotions that make humans suffer.
Miguel
I think what I bring to the table overall is a sense of my own individuality, especially in the urban-male spectrum of what is here and now.
Miguel
Which not peace for the man who is forced to go to war, for he will find his peace. But wish peace for the man who goes to war willingly, for he will never find his peace.
Miguel
I embrace that I'm different. That I'm unique.
Miguel
I think the goal is in general to broaden my fans' perspectives and their horizons. Not to be cliché. But to introduce them to things that they may not have introduced to themselves.
Miguel
I think my style as far as vocal delivery and even down to the pronunciation of certain words is so deliberate.
Miguel
I want to be transparent, so I don't leave room for too much thinking.
Miguel
The extremes of who I'd love to be onstage are David Bowie, Prince, and, I don't know, Bjork.
Miguel
That is why every brother and sister will react differently according to how they learn to defend themselves and adapt to different circumstances. When our parents are constantly fighting, when there is disharmony, disrespect, and lies, we learn the emotional way of being like them.
