More quotes by 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 stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
Mika
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
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

Mika
New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.
