More quotes by Mika
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
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
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
Mika
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
Mika

Mika
Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
Mika
I write songs to turn myself into something else. And then I become that, and I want to become something else.
Mika

Mika
Zen is just a lifestyle, your everyday life. It is doing your best at your job, relationships, health, hobbies, and other daily activities!
Mika
New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.
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
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
In fact, no one has ever really wanted to go on a date with me.
Mika
