More quotes by Mika
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
Mika
My relationship with my mother is not cute.
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
So foolish is the heart of man that he ever puts his hope in the future, learning nothing from his past errors and fancying that tomorrow must be better than today.
Mika
Over the past few days I have been fighting off a virus that has affected the majority of my band and crew.
Mika
Most of the people who write pop music were outsiders at some time in their life.
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
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
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 stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
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
I don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
Mika
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
Mika
I write songs to turn myself into something else. And then I become that, and I want to become something else.
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
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
Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
Mika
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
Mika
I'm fascinated by religion, but I'm not particularly religious.
Mika
