More quotes by Mika

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
I have opinions on everything. I'm a stubborn old mule. The biggest problem is keeping my mouth shut.
Mika
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Mika
I write songs about fat girls and about men who run off to Mexico.
Mika
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
