More quotes by 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'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
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
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika
Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
Mika
I have opinions on everything. I'm a stubborn old mule. The biggest problem is keeping my mouth shut.
Mika
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
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 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
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
Mika
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
Mika
I write songs about fat girls and about men who run off to Mexico.
Mika
I write songs to turn myself into something else. And then I become that, and I want to become something else.
Mika
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
Mika
I don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
Mika
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
Mika
I was born out of classical music.
Mika
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
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
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
