More quotes by 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 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
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 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
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
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
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
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
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
I write songs about fat girls and about men who run off to Mexico.
Mika
New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.
Mika
I have opinions on everything. I'm a stubborn old mule. The biggest problem is keeping my mouth shut.
Mika
I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
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 don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
Mika
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
Mika
Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
Mika
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika
A stylist might say you look amazing in anything. Your family will always tell you if you look a complete idiot.
Mika
My life isn't tabloid-friendly.
Mika
