More quotes by 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
I think in a world where everyone wants to categorize and compartmentalize and rationalize, it's OK to be different.
Miguel
I think what I bring to the table overall is a sense of my own individuality, especially in the urban-male spectrum of what is here and now.
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'm not here to write a song for you, I'm here to help you write a song for yourself.
Miguel
Travel aesthetics should be just as comfortable and practical as they are fashionable.
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 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
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!
