More quotes by 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
My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references it was all about being naive.
Mika
I don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
Mika
Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
Mika
The music industry doesn't exist the way it used to. You'll never have another star like the stars of the '90s.
