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
Over the past few days I have been fighting off a virus that has affected the majority of my band and crew.
Mika
I was born out of classical music.
Mika
I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
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
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'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 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
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
Mika
My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references it was all about being naive.
Mika
When you're not part of a club, you have to find another way of surviving.
Mika
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
I don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
Mika
A stylist might say you look amazing in anything. Your family will always tell you if you look a complete idiot.
Mika
My life isn't tabloid-friendly.
Mika
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
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
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
Mika
I'm obsessed with plastic. I like the syntheticness.
Mika
Zen is just a lifestyle, your everyday life. It is doing your best at your job, relationships, health, hobbies, and other daily activities!
Mika
I was always told that I was too strange or that I was too cheesy by different groups of people, like the record companies said I was way too weird and the indie people wouldn't even let me in their band.
Mika
