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
I believe dreams represent the purest form of fantasy we unleash through our subconscious. They represent the truest freedom we can experience. Totally unrepressed and totally creative.
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
You can't take yourself too seriously. But always have conviction.
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
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
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
Travel aesthetics should be just as comfortable and practical as they are fashionable.
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
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
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 think in a world where everyone wants to categorize and compartmentalize and rationalize, it's OK to be different.
Miguel
A lot of people forget that R&B put hip-hop on, R&B put rock on.
Miguel
'SNL' is probably one of the premiere outlets that a musician can perform on that isn't obviously a music outlet.
Miguel
I think what I'm trying to build is a reputation for evolving and for change. Because of the rate of information that we have access to at this point, it's almost hard not to be ever-growing.
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 think my style as far as vocal delivery and even down to the pronunciation of certain words is so deliberate.
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
