More quotes by Mika
When you're not part of a club, you have to find another way of surviving.
Mika

Mika
Oh, I'm quite harmless in real life.
Mika
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
Mika

Mika

Mika

Mika
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
Mika

Mika
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
Mika
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
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
I write songs about fat girls and about men who run off to Mexico.
Mika
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
Mika
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Mika
