Mika
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
Mika
When you're not part of a club, you have to find another way of surviving.
Mika
I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
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
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

Mika
Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
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
The one thing about me is that I don’t even know where I’ll end up, and I don’t know what I’ll be doing but I know that I’ll never really stop.
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
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Mika
I write songs to turn myself into something else. And then I become that, and I want to become something else.
Mika
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika
