More quotes by Mika
In fact, no one has ever really wanted to go on a date with me.
Mika
I write songs about fat girls and about men who run off to Mexico.
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
Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
Mika
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
Mika
My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references it was all about being naive.
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
Zen is just a lifestyle, your everyday life. It is doing your best at your job, relationships, health, hobbies, and other daily activities!
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
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
Most of the people who write pop music were outsiders at some time in their life.
Mika
When you're not part of a club, you have to find another way of surviving.
Mika
I write songs to turn myself into something else. And then I become that, and I want to become something else.
Mika
I have opinions on everything. I'm a stubborn old mule. The biggest problem is keeping my mouth shut.
Mika
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Mika
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
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
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
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
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
