More quotes by Miguel
I'm a firm believer that when children have a strong conviction about something, it's often because there's some powerful experience from a past life. Something that they didn't get to fulfill.
Miguel
All the best times in music were rebellious. I mean, even like Elvis, people didn't want their daughters paying attention to him. He was considered too sexual!
Miguel
When I was coming up, I just wanted to play baseball and I'm doing what I love to do most. How can I feel pressure doing what I love to do?
Miguel
'SNL' is probably one of the premiere outlets that a musician can perform on that isn't obviously a music outlet.
Miguel
Art is based on emotion, but being macho is based on ego the wall protecting that emotion.
Miguel
Just as eunuchs will never know aesthetics as applied to the selection of beautiful women, so neither will pure rationalists ever know ethics, nor will they ever succeed in defining happiness, for happiness is a thing that is lived and felt, not a thing that is reasoned or defined.
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.

It doesn’t matter how much you love someone, you are never going to be what that person wants you to be.
Miguel
I embrace that I'm different. That I'm unique.
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
Underground hip-hop is, like, one of my foundations, I would say a cornerstone of my foundation of my musical tastes.
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 at any point, as an artist, whatever the medium - just having an audience means the world.
Miguel
I can write hundreds of songs on simple power chords.
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
I want to be transparent, so I don't leave room for too much thinking.
Miguel
The whole cultural diversity and musical diversity, I think they almost go hand in hand, you know? It's like a mind space or a it's having an open mind to what else is out there.
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.
Miguel
There is no recollection which time does not put an end to, and no pain which death does not remove.
