More quotes by Mika
My relationship with my mother is not cute.
Mika
My life isn't tabloid-friendly.
Mika
My real name is Mica, spelled with a C. My dad is called Michael. He wanted me to be called Michael but my mother said over her dead body. She wasn't into the whole junior thing.
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
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'm obsessed with plastic. I like the syntheticness.
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
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika
I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
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
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
I'm fascinated by religion, but I'm not particularly religious.
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
Over the past few days I have been fighting off a virus that has affected the majority of my band and crew.
Mika
I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
Mika
I think my music generally transcends a lot of genres.
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
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
Mika
I don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
Mika
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
Mika
