More quotes by Mika
I can't just listen to music walking down the street unless I have a reason to. I can't just listen to music as a piece of junk in the background. It drives me insane.
Mika
Most of the people who write pop music were outsiders at some time in their life.
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
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
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
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
I don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
Mika
I think my music generally transcends a lot of genres.
Mika
A stylist might say you look amazing in anything. Your family will always tell you if you look a complete idiot.
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
I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
Mika
I write songs to turn myself into something else. And then I become that, and I want to become something else.
Mika
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
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 was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Mika
Oh, I'm quite harmless in real life.
Mika
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika
I certainly don't follow fashion. I think fashion, as far as the industry and the whole world that surrounds it, is quite vile, and I'm repelled by it.
Mika
My life isn't tabloid-friendly.
