More quotes by Mika
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
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 don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
Mika
I'm fascinated by religion, but I'm not particularly religious.
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 first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references it was all about being naive.
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
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
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
Mika
My life isn't tabloid-friendly.
Mika
My relationship with my mother is not cute.
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
Oh, I'm quite harmless in real 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
In the stock market, when you are right, you make a little money when you are wrong, you learn a lot of lessons, so you always win!
Mika
New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.
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
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
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 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
