Mika
Oh, I'm quite harmless in real life.
Mika
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
Mika
I'd never compare myself to Freddie Mercury because I look up to him far too much. As an artist, not necessarily as a person.
Mika
I'm not interested in what they have to say. I'm only interested in people that are interested in me for the right reasons.
Mika
I was born out of classical music.
Mika
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
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
Over the past few days I have been fighting off a virus that has affected the majority of my band and crew.
