More quotes by Mika
I was born out of classical music.
Mika

Mika
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
Mika

Mika
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
Mika

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
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
You never know which gig is going to be your last.
Mika
I think my music generally transcends a lot of genres.
Mika
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.

Mika
I write songs about fat girls and about men who run off to Mexico.
Mika
I'm fascinated by religion, but I'm not particularly religious.
Mika
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika
Over the past few days I have been fighting off a virus that has affected the majority of my band and crew.
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
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
