More quotes by Mika
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
Mika
So foolish is the heart of man that he ever puts his hope in the future, learning nothing from his past errors and fancying that tomorrow must be better than today.
Mika
Melody is disarming. It's anarchic!
Mika
New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.
Mika
I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
Mika
The music industry doesn't exist the way it used to. You'll never have another star like the stars of the '90s.
Mika
I'm not interested in what they have to say. I'm only interested in people that are interested in me for the right reasons.
Mika
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
Mika

Mika
My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references it was all about being naive.
Mika
Some people say I've got a five-octave range, which is ridiculous. That would mean I'd sing like Mariah Carey or that alien in 'The Fifth Element.' And I'm nothing like that blue alien. I've got a range of about 3 1/2 octaves.
Mika
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
Mika
I'm inspired by watching and listening to people. For example, my first novel, The Scale, came to life after I overheard two women discussing their struggle with their weight at the gym.
Mika
You never know which gig is going to be your last.
Mika
I don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
Mika
The one thing about me is that I don’t even know where I’ll end up, and I don’t know what I’ll be doing but I know that I’ll never really stop.
Mika
My real name is Mica, spelled with a C. My dad is called Michael. He wanted me to be called Michael but my mother said over her dead body. She wasn't into the whole junior thing.
Mika
My life isn't tabloid-friendly.
Mika
