More quotes by Mika
I was born out of classical music.
Mika
I have opinions on everything. I'm a stubborn old mule. The biggest problem is keeping my mouth shut.
Mika
My relationship with my mother is not cute.
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
New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.

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'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
I'm not interested in what they have to say. I'm only interested in people that are interested in me for the right reasons.
Mika
I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
Mika
I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
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
Oh, I'm quite harmless in real life.
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
My life isn't tabloid-friendly.
Mika
