Melody is disarming. It's anarchic!
Mika

Mika
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
Mika
Most of the people who write pop music were outsiders at some time in their life.

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
When you're not part of a club, you have to find another way of surviving.
Mika

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

Mika
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
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
You never know which gig is going to be your last.
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
The music industry doesn't exist the way it used to. You'll never have another star like the stars of the '90s.
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
Over the past few days I have been fighting off a virus that has affected the majority of my band and crew.
Mika
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
Mika
