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

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.

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.

I'm obsessed with plastic. I like the syntheticness.

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
Image
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.
Mika
Image
I write songs to turn myself into something else. And then I become that, and I want to become something else.
Mika
Image
I was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
Mika
Image
I write songs about fat girls and about men who run off to Mexico.
Mika
Image
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
Image
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.

A stylist might say you look amazing in anything. Your family will always tell you if you look a complete idiot.
