More quotes by Mika
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
Mika

Mika
I was born out of classical music.

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
You never know which gig is going to be your last.
Mika

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
The music industry doesn't exist the way it used to. You'll never have another star like the stars of the '90s.
Mika
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
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
A stylist might say you look amazing in anything. Your family will always tell you if you look a complete idiot.
Mika
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
Mika
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
Mika
I think my music generally transcends a lot of genres.
Mika
