More quotes by Mika
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
Mika
I have opinions on everything. I'm a stubborn old mule. The biggest problem is keeping my mouth shut.
Mika
I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
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
Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
Mika
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
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
I'm obsessed with plastic. I like the syntheticness.
Mika

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
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
We all have to be dishes on a plate eventually, with the way we are marketed, but I have no intention of being a cheap Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet.
Mika
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
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
Zen is just a lifestyle, your everyday life. It is doing your best at your job, relationships, health, hobbies, and other daily activities!
Mika
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Mika
In fact, no one has ever really wanted to go on a date with me.
