More quotes by Mika
When you're not part of a club, you have to find another way of surviving.
Mika
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
Mika
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika
I write songs to turn myself into something else. And then I become that, and I want to become something else.
Mika
Oh, I'm quite harmless in real life.
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
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Mika
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
Mika
Most of the people who write pop music were outsiders at some time in their life.
Mika
I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
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

Mika
Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
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
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
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
My relationship with my mother is not cute.
Mika
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
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 don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
Mika
