More quotes by 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 was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
Mika
The one thing about me is that I don’t even know where I’ll end up, and I don’t know what I’ll be doing but I know that I’ll never really stop.
Mika
I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
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
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
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
Zen is just a lifestyle, your everyday life. It is doing your best at your job, relationships, health, hobbies, and other daily activities!
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
We all have to be dishes on a plate eventually, with the way we are marketed, but I have no intention of being a cheap Chinese all-you-can-eat buffet.
Mika
You never know which gig is going to be your last.
Mika
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
Mika
Melody is disarming. It's anarchic!
Mika
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Mika
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
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
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
Mika
My relationship with my mother is not cute.
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
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
Mika
