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 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 don't think I live the lifestyle that's expected of a quote unquote R&B artist. I'm just not that dude.
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
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.
