More quotes by Mika
When you're not part of a club, you have to find another way of surviving.
Mika
I can't just listen to music walking down the street unless I have a reason to. I can't just listen to music as a piece of junk in the background. It drives me insane.
Mika
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
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
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
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
New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.
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'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
My life isn't tabloid-friendly.
Mika
You never know which gig is going to be your last.
Mika
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
Mika
I have opinions on everything. I'm a stubborn old mule. The biggest problem is keeping my mouth shut.
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
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
Mika
I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
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 was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Mika
Oh, I'm quite harmless in real life.
Mika
The music industry doesn't exist the way it used to. You'll never have another star like the stars of the '90s.
Mika
