Mika Quotations

I kinda flirt with everything and everyone, no matter if it's a tree or a coffee cup. I can't resist.

I completely understand the responsibility I have in continuing the sonic style that I have created.

I was born out of classical music.

It's very hard to find men's clothes that do what you want, especially when you go through them as quickly as I do. I need them to be flashy, but I never like to be overdressed. I need to make a statement, but I hate wearing too many clothes.

My relationship with my mother is not cute.

If I really like the smell of something - a piece of tar or my goddaughter's plastic doll - I put a tiny piece in a bottle with a label. I keep them in a fridge in my bathroom.

I'm not creating an enigma or leaving mystery, I'm just respecting myself enough as an artist to give myself room to grow and not to be devoured all in one go.

In my older songs, I used to hide behind fictional characters to deflect attention away from myself.

Mixed reactions? Sure, I get them all the time. I'm a Marmite artist.

I found school pretty tough. I got the mickey taken out of me at school.
