More quotes by Mika
I write songs about fat girls and about men who run off to Mexico.
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

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
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
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
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
I was born out of classical music.
Mika
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
