Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Mika: (revealing he was bullied at school) The bullying was out of control. I was even picked on by one of my teachers, a female teacher. I don't know why she did it. I didn't provoke her. I wasn't the first and I imagine I wasn't the last she picked on. She was just a nasty piece of work. I wasn't brave. I was not a fighter in the classroom. I lost I was lame. I admit it. I saw myself more as the slow and stubborn turtle who quietly got on with what he was doing, knowing I would one day win the race.
-
Mika: I don't do drugs. I think if I did, I'd probably fall off the stage.
-
Mika: After I started singing as a boy I started to get jobs everywhere. With the help of a terrifyingly tough Russian singing teacher, I got to be really good at professional gigs.
-
Mika: If I was worried about sexual taboos I certainly wouldn't have made the record I made. It has nothing to do with that. It has more to do with self-respect.
