More quotes by 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
In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.
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
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
Zen is just a lifestyle, your everyday life. It is doing your best at your job, relationships, health, hobbies, and other daily activities!
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
I say I have a midlife crisis every time I start and finish a record.
Mika
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad!
Mika
Identity for me is something that has to be played with and explored, and not become complacent about or uninterested in.
Mika
I write songs to turn myself into something else. And then I become that, and I want to become something else.
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
New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.
Mika
You never know which gig is going to be your last.
Mika
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
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 was quite the quiet teenager. I was a bit of a loner, a little bit of an outsider.
Mika
I don't know where my father is from. I just don't. He's lived in so many countries.
Mika
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika
Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
Mika
