More quotes by Miguel
Underground hip-hop is, like, one of my foundations, I would say a cornerstone of my foundation of my musical tastes.
Miguel
There's just something really, really timeless about live instruments. There's just something special about them that you can't really duplicate or grasp without including live instruments.
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
It doesn’t matter how much you love someone, you are never going to be what that person wants you to be.
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
I embrace that I'm different. That I'm unique.
Miguel
I think my style as far as vocal delivery and even down to the pronunciation of certain words is so deliberate.
Miguel
There is no recollection which time does not put an end to, and no pain which death does not remove.
Miguel
I can write hundreds of songs on simple power chords.
Miguel
You can't take yourself too seriously. But always have conviction.
Miguel
'SNL' is probably one of the premiere outlets that a musician can perform on that isn't obviously a music outlet.
Miguel
A lot of people forget that R&B put hip-hop on, R&B put rock on.
Miguel
I mean, there's plenty of artists who are making R&B music, but because of their ethnicity, it's considered something else.
Miguel
I'm not here to write a song for you, I'm here to help you write a song for yourself.
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
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
I associate creativity with independent music.
Miguel
I want to be transparent, so I don't leave room for too much thinking.
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 think in a world where everyone wants to categorize and compartmentalize and rationalize, it's OK to be different.
Miguel
