More quotes by Mika
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Mika
I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
Mika
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
Mika
Melody is disarming. It's anarchic!
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
You never know which gig is going to be your last.
Mika
In fact, no one has ever really wanted to go on a date with me.
Mika
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
Mika

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
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
In the stock market, when you are right, you make a little money when you are wrong, you learn a lot of lessons, so you always win!
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
Zen is just a lifestyle, your everyday life. It is doing your best at your job, relationships, health, hobbies, and other daily activities!
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
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
Over the past few days I have been fighting off a virus that has affected the majority of my band and crew.
Mika
I write songs to turn myself into something else. And then I become that, and I want to become something else.
Mika
I wish I had more guts when I was younger because then I would've said things to people's faces instead of just running away all the time.
Mika
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
Mika
