Mika
My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references it was all about being naive.

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 say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
Mika
I'm obsessed with plastic. I like the syntheticness.
Mika
A stylist might say you look amazing in anything. Your family will always tell you if you look a complete idiot.
Mika
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
Mika
When you're not part of a club, you have to find another way of surviving.
