More quotes by Mika
I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
Mika
Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
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 say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
Mika
I was born out of classical music.
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
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
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
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
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
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
Oh, I'm quite harmless in real life.
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
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
A decision once taken brings peace to a man's mind and eases his soul.
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
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
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
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
