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
In fact, no one has ever really wanted to go on a date with me.
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
New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.
Mika
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
