More quotes by Mika
I'm fascinated by religion, but I'm not particularly religious.
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
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 write songs to turn myself into something else. And then I become that, and I want to become something else.
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
I have opinions on everything. I'm a stubborn old mule. The biggest problem is keeping my mouth shut.
Mika
You never know which gig is going to be your last.
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 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
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
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
Mika
Strangely, I feel that I become increasingly reclusive in my normal life and more open and candid in my music.
Mika
My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references it was all about being naive.
Mika
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.
Mika
The stage is my territory, my boxing ring. That's where I'm free.
Mika
In fact, no one has ever really wanted to go on a date with me.
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
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
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
