More quotes by 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
Melody is disarming. It's anarchic!
Mika
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
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
Over the past few days I have been fighting off a virus that has affected the majority of my band and crew.
Mika
My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references it was all about being naive.

Mika
