More quotes by Mika
My real name is Mica, spelled with a C. My dad is called Michael. He wanted me to be called Michael but my mother said over her dead body. She wasn't into the whole junior thing.
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
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
My relationship with my mother is not cute.
Mika
I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
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
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.

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
Oh, I'm quite harmless in real life.
Mika
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
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've always said in the press, I can fall in love with a man. I can fall in love with a woman. And I've always said that I have no shame in that.
Mika
A stylist might say you look amazing in anything. Your family will always tell you if you look a complete idiot.
Mika
I'm fascinated by religion, but I'm not particularly religious.
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
You never know which gig is going to be your last.
Mika
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
Mika
