We all have to be dishes on a plate eventually, with the way we are marketed, but I have no intention of being a cheap Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet.
Mika
Image
Most of the people who write pop music were outsiders at some time in their life.
Mika
Image
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.

In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
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.
