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.

More quotes by 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
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
Mika
I don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
Mika
Oh, I'm quite harmless in real life.
Mika
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
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
I certainly don't follow fashion. I think fashion, as far as the industry and the whole world that surrounds it, is quite vile, and I'm repelled by it.
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
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
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
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
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
The music industry doesn't exist the way it used to. You'll never have another star like the stars of the '90s.
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
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika
My life isn't tabloid-friendly.
Mika
Most of the people who write pop music were outsiders at some time in their life.
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
Some people say I've got a five-octave range, which is ridiculous. That would mean I'd sing like Mariah Carey or that alien in 'The Fifth Element.' And I'm nothing like that blue alien. I've got a range of about 3 1/2 octaves.
Mika
