More quotes by Mika
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika

Mika

Mika
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
Mika

Mika
I was always told that I was too strange or that I was too cheesy by different groups of people, like the record companies said I was way too weird and the indie people wouldn't even let me in their band.
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
My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references it was all about being naive.
Mika
I'm obsessed with plastic. I like the syntheticness.
Mika
My relationship with my mother is not cute.
Mika
I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
Mika
I think my music generally transcends a lot of genres.
Mika
