Mika
I was always told I was ugly. I still think I am ugly. I know I've got an odd face and you can't tell me otherwise.
Part of me sees myself as talented, and the other part sees me as strange. Ideas get stuck in your head and nothing changes them. Not even fame.
A stylist might say you look amazing in anything. Your family will always tell you if you look a complete idiot.
Most people's jobs are rooted in reality.
I was a show-off as a kid. I was wearing bow ties and matching coloured trousers.
Mixed reactions? Sure, I get them all the time. I'm a Marmite artist.
Anyone who tries to diss me in comparison to Queen, it just renders all their criticisms completely futile. That's quite pleasurable.
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.
I really want people to know me, to find out about me, and if they really like me, to stick with me.
Hype is scary.
I want to make big-sounding pop records.
I found school pretty tough. I got the mickey taken out of me at school.
I write songs about fat girls and about men who run off to Mexico.
My first record was about childhood. There were a lot of nursery rhyme and fairytale references; it was all about being naive.
Never had any idols, ever. I never had any posters, nothing.
Everything I do is very visual and very aural, so I don't read music, and I draw as much as I write out lyrics.
The music industry doesn't exist the way it used to. You'll never have another star like the stars of the '90s.
I collect toys.
I'm obsessed with plastic. I like the syntheticness.
I have opinions on everything. I'm a stubborn old mule. The biggest problem is keeping my mouth shut.
Well, I have to say, most of my clothes are designed and made by my mother.
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.
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.
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.
I'm a big illustration and comic book fan. In my eyes, comic books and illustration are the same kind of art forms.
I'm always calling my doctor because I'm constantly injuring myself while on the road, like tearing a ligament, blasting my ears or losing my voice. Plus, I'm a total hypochondriac.
When you come from nowhere, I am fully aware of the fact that people have to compare you to other artists to kind of place you.
In fact, no one has ever really wanted to go on a date with me.
Everything I write is about me.
No one knows what I am and really, I wonder if I do, at the end of the day.Collection: The End Of The Day
I kinda flirt with everything and everyone, no matter if it's a tree or a coffee cup. I can't resist.Collection: Coffee

Grace Kelly was written after these musicians were trying to mold me into what I should be. I was really angry and so I wrote the song and mailed them the lyrics. They didn't call me back, but two years later it's come full circle.Collection: Song
I wanted to make an unashamed pop record. I became obsessed with Disney soundtracks from the '50s, so I decided to make my own.Collection: Records
I can see how weird I was. One day I decided the school needed a Christmas tree and spent hours dragging this huge beast of a tree into school. No one was pleased. I got two weeks detention because I was 45 minutes late and had made a big mess of leaves and soil all over the building. All the kids just laughed at me.Collection: School
Life without hope, the slavery of mankind-a bondage so hopeless that slaves will no longer know they are slaves. Wealth without happiness, abundance without the power to enjoy it. The death of the spirit.Collection: Slavery

Did you know, I'm still in love with this blue sky until forever and ever, eternally.Collection: Blue
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.Collection: Struggle

It's [F1] your life. You're focused on just one thing and there's no room for anything else. Friends don't necessarily understand, because the way you think about life develops completely differently to how it does for normal people.Collection: Thinking
