More quotes by Mika
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
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
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
Zen is just a lifestyle, your everyday life. It is doing your best at your job, relationships, health, hobbies, and other daily activities!
Mika
I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
Mika
Most of the people who write pop music were outsiders at some time in their life.
Mika
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Mika
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika
In the stock market, when you are right, you make a little money when you are wrong, you learn a lot of lessons, so you always win!
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
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
I'm fascinated by religion, but I'm not particularly religious.
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'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
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
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 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
Melody is disarming. It's anarchic!
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
