You never know which gig is going to be your last.
Mika
My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references it was all about being naive.

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

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
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 don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
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 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
Most of the people who write pop music were outsiders at some time in their life.
Mika
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
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
