More quotes by 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 of the people who write pop music were outsiders at some time in their life.
Mika
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
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
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
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
Melody is disarming. It's anarchic!
Mika
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
Mika
I write songs about fat girls and about men who run off to Mexico.
Mika
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
