More quotes by 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

Mika
I'm fascinated by religion, but I'm not particularly religious.
Mika
Most of the people who write pop music were outsiders at some time in their life.
Mika
A stylist might say you look amazing in anything. Your family will always tell you if you look a complete idiot.
Mika
I have opinions on everything. I'm a stubborn old mule. The biggest problem is keeping my mouth shut.
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
You never know which gig is going to be your last.
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
Oh, I'm quite harmless in real life.
Mika
