More quotes by 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 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
PERSONAL IMPORTANCE or taking things personally, is an expression of SELFISHNESS because we make the assumption that everything is about ME!! NOTHING PEOPLE DO IS BECAUSE OF YOU!! IT'S BECAUSE OF THEMSELVES!!
Miguel
