More quotes by 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
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
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
Most of the people who write pop music were outsiders at some time in their life.
Mika
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
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
Melody is disarming. It's anarchic!
Mika
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
Mika
I don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
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
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 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
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
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
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
Mika
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Mika
I'm not interested in what they have to say. I'm only interested in people that are interested in me for the right reasons.
Mika
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
Mika
My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references it was all about being naive.
