Mika
Oh, I'm quite harmless in real life.
Mika
When you're not part of a club, you have to find another way of surviving.
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
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
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.
