More quotes by Mika
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
Mika

Mika
Melody is disarming. It's anarchic!
Mika
My life isn't tabloid-friendly.
Mika
New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.
Mika
I have opinions on everything. I'm a stubborn old mule. The biggest problem is keeping my mouth shut.
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
A stylist might say you look amazing in anything. Your family will always tell you if you look a complete idiot.
Mika
In fact, no one has ever really wanted to go on a date with me.
Mika
