More quotes by Mika
New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.
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

Mika
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
Mika
It's [F1] your life. You're focused on just one thing and there's no room for anything else. Friends don't necessarily understand, because the way you think about life develops completely differently to how it does for normal people.
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
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
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
Zen is just a lifestyle, your everyday life. It is doing your best at your job, relationships, health, hobbies, and other daily activities!
Mika
I write songs about fat girls and about men who run off to Mexico.
Mika
