More quotes by Mika
I don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
Mika
I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
Mika
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
Mika
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
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
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
I'd never compare myself to Freddie Mercury because I look up to him far too much. As an artist, not necessarily as a person.
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
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
My life isn't tabloid-friendly.
Mika
My relationship with my mother is not cute.
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
I'm obsessed with plastic. I like the syntheticness.
Mika
It's [F1] your life. You're focused on just one thing and there's no room for anything else. Friends don't necessarily understand, because the way you think about life develops completely differently to how it does for normal people.
Mika
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
Mika
I wish I had more guts when I was younger because then I would've said things to people's faces instead of just running away all the time.
Mika
I'm not interested in what they have to say. I'm only interested in people that are interested in me for the right reasons.
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
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
