More quotes by 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
When you're not part of a club, you have to find another way of surviving.
Mika
I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
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
New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.
Mika
I can't just listen to music walking down the street unless I have a reason to. I can't just listen to music as a piece of junk in the background. It drives me insane.
Mika
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Mika
I'm fascinated by religion, but I'm not particularly religious.
Mika
I don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
Mika
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
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'd never compare myself to Freddie Mercury because I look up to him far too much. As an artist, not necessarily as a person.
Mika
I'm obsessed with plastic. I like the syntheticness.
Mika
I certainly don't follow fashion. I think fashion, as far as the industry and the whole world that surrounds it, is quite vile, and I'm repelled by it.
Mika
My relationship with my mother is not cute.
Mika
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.
Mika
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
Mika
I wish I had more guts when I was younger because then I would've said things to people's faces instead of just running away all the time.
Mika
I write songs to turn myself into something else. And then I become that, and I want to become something else.
Mika
