Mika
You never know which gig is going to be your last.
Mika
When you're not part of a club, you have to find another way of surviving.
Mika
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
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
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
Mika
My relationship with my mother is not cute.
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
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
