It's [F1] your life. You're focused on just one thing and there's no room for anything else. Friends don't necessarily understand, because the way you think about life develops completely differently to how it does for normal people.

More quotes by Mika
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
Mika
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
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
I write songs to turn myself into something else. And then I become that, and I want to become something else.
Mika
I think my music generally transcends a lot of genres.
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
I don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
Mika
I have opinions on everything. I'm a stubborn old mule. The biggest problem is keeping my mouth shut.
Mika
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
Mika
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
Mika
Most of the people who write pop music were outsiders at some time in their life.
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
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
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
My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references it was all about being naive.
Mika
I was born out of classical music.
Mika
Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
Mika
Oh, I'm quite harmless in real life.
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
My relationship with my mother is not cute.
Mika
