Miguel
I think at any point, as an artist, whatever the medium - just having an audience means the world.
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
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
You can't take yourself too seriously. But always have conviction.
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 have learned that you're only relevant to someone if you're beneficial to them somehow/some way
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
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've always had this tremendous and very deep feeling of knowing my purpose, you know? It never dawned on me, it always very much known.
Miguel
