Mika
I'm fascinated by religion, but I'm not particularly religious.
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
Melody is disarming. It's anarchic!
Mika
I write songs to turn myself into something else. And then I become that, and I want to become something else.
Mika
I've always said in the press, I can fall in love with a man. I can fall in love with a woman. And I've always said that I have no shame in that.
Mika
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika
In fact, no one has ever really wanted to go on a date with me.
Mika
