Mika Quotes

If there ever has been any confusion about my sexuality, then you are someone that doesn't even know me!

Most of the pop videos I've seen that have any male/female interaction are usually centered around a romance - and that's great, I am all for romance. But let's face it, there are a lot of other sexualities and identities that are well-deserving of some shiny pop video love.

We can't police the way people express their sexuality.

I put sex in the Civil Rights Act.

In many cases, it's a choice. There are many, many human beings through history - millions and millions and millions - who have been both homosexual at times in their lives and then heterosexual, or vice-versa, or bisexual. How can it be a biological imperative if people can change?

What was so interesting about the glam era was that it was about bisexuality and breaking down the boundaries between gays and straights, breaking down the boundaries between masculinity and femininity with this androgyny thing.

People's sexuality is often defined by who we're partnered with at any given moment, which can be a frustrating limitation for me. I've had countless tiny 'coming out' moments in my life, often simply to explain to someone else that they have misjudged my sexuality based on who they saw me dating.

Without a doubt, my sexuality was something that I just never discussed, especially in the 1950s.

I am more than just a label. Why are people so driven to labeling where we fall on the sexual spectrum?

Human sexuality is not always about being labeled. It's about having a human moment, an emotion.

I was always comfortable with my sexuality.

I'd gone through life being obsessed about my sexuality. People would ask about relationships, girlfriends, you start referring to people as 'they' so there's no judgment and you can be ambiguous. People around me knew, but I still struggled with talking about it openly.

I feel like it's extremely rare to find a female who's bisexual and not either lesbian or straight on television shows.

I feel, in the sense that if you're heterosexual, if you're bisexual, if you're gay, if you're a lesbian, if you're transgender, whatever the vibe is, that's what you represent. I've always found it quite strange that we always like to try and define people and say this is how it is, and this is how it should be.

I've been thinking a lot about my relationship to my own queerness, and I think the word pansexual speaks to me more than bi does.

There is no Cura Gay, there's just gay. Or not. Or however you identify, and nobody should have say over something so personal and inherent.

There's no such thing as 'sissy bounce.' We don't separate it here in New Orleans at all. It's just bounce music. Just because I'm a gay artist, they don't have to put it in a category or label it.

The urge to push the concept of sex and sexuality into the fringes of the human experience is so bizarre to me.

We don't want to categorize our music. Some people say you need a definite musical direction to give a group visibility.

Some people will say, and have said, that I'm trying to run from country, but I'm never going to make anything other than a country record.

It's so politically incorrect to make a character gay and then make them 'un-gay' again. Like, once you become gay, you've crossed over, or you're not allowed to be a person who doesn't want to be defined by a label like that.

I decided to be heterosexual because I felt like that's the life God intended me to live.

I actually don't label myself, but... Some people call me queer; some people call me bisexual, whatever it is now. I'm happy with all of it 'cause it all sort of represents me, in a way. I spent a majority of my life in the closet.

It's obviously presumptuous in some ways to talk about somebody's sexuality who's not here to describe themselves.

Some people believe they chose homosexuality, and some believe they didn't. Who's to say one is wrong? It's not fair to generalize anyone's sexuality or walk of life.
