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 was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
Mika
I was born out of classical music.
Mika
My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references it was all about being naive.
Mika

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
I'm obsessed with plastic. I like the syntheticness.
Mika
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
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
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
Mika
New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.
Mika
