More quotes by Mika
I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
Mika
New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.
Mika
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Mika
Over the past few days I have been fighting off a virus that has affected the majority of my band and crew.
Mika
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
Mika
It's [F1] your life. You're focused on just one thing and there's no room for anything else. Friends don't necessarily understand, because the way you think about life develops completely differently to how it does for normal people.
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
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
Mika
Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
Mika
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
Mika
Melody is disarming. It's anarchic!
Mika
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
Mika
A stylist might say you look amazing in anything. Your family will always tell you if you look a complete idiot.
Mika
We all have to be dishes on a plate eventually, with the way we are marketed, but I have no intention of being a cheap Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet.
Mika
My relationship with my mother is not cute.
Mika
Oh, I'm quite harmless in real life.
Mika
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
Mika
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika
I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
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
