More quotes by Mika
I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
Mika
I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
Mika
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
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
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
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
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
I was born out of classical music.
Mika
I wish I had more guts when I was younger because then I would've said things to people's faces instead of just running away all the time.
Mika
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
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
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
Mika
I don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
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
A stylist might say you look amazing in anything. Your family will always tell you if you look a complete idiot.
Mika
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
Mika
I've always said in the press, I can fall in love with a man. I can fall in love with a woman. And I've always said that I have no shame in that.
Mika
I think my music generally transcends a lot of genres.
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
