I've always felt, even as a songwriter, that the rhythm of speech is in itself a language for me.

More quotes by Cyndi Lauper
There have been great things that happened to me.
Cyndi Lauper
Humour is a great vehicle for getting a message across. If you get too serious, you could die of starch.
Cyndi Lauper
There's ageism in everything. I don't give a hoot. It isn't what other people think it's what you think. But it's hard to come to terms with getting older. I admire people like Vivienne Westwood.
Cyndi Lauper
You can't make your kids what you want them to be. They are who they are and you have to help them to succeed in the world as best you can.
Cyndi Lauper
I always sang. I wanted to be in a band with my sister, and I was, at 11. At 12, I started writing seriously, and that was my pacifier all through high school - that and painting.
Cyndi Lauper
I have a hard time doing anything someone else tells me to do! I've always been driven to follow my own path and not be pushed down another lane because some executive thought I could be more commercially successful or whatever.
Cyndi Lauper
I get the greatest feeling when I'm singing. It's other-worldly. Your feet are anchored into the Earth and into this energy force that comes up through your feet and goes up the top of your head and maybe you're holding hands with the angels or the stars, I have no idea.
Cyndi Lauper
Fame doesn't redeem you. It takes a long time to get there, and when you're finally there, you realise you still have authority figures telling you what to do.
Cyndi Lauper
It's a strange lesson to learn in life that your differences, the things that make you feel uncomfortable about yourself are what will help you to grow into who you are. Those are your gifts.
Cyndi Lauper
My career never went like anyone else’s, so I never followed anyone.
Cyndi Lauper
Everyone's gotta have a voice, to be able to speak out. Left supresses right, right supresses left, and what's left and what's right? You know? It's America. You gotta be able to speak out. That's why people came here from all over the world: to have a fair shake. Not more than somebody else - the same.
Cyndi Lauper
My torso is short, but my arms are really long and gangly and my legs and my neck, and my feet and hands are really long, and I look like a duck.
Cyndi Lauper
Somebody did complain to me and tell me that my clothes were so loud they couldn't hear me sing.
Cyndi Lauper
If you think you're hearing something and you can't think what it is. If you feel a quiet longing lift your heart into the wind. There you'll find my kindred spirit. There you'll meet me as a friend. It is just a kindred spirit and a song to let you in.
Cyndi Lauper
I don't know many people who don't have somebody in their family who's a part of the gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender community. It's not like they're aliens or outsiders. This is family.
Cyndi Lauper
When I sing I have a lot of visions. Like what's happening now in my life.
Cyndi Lauper
Music, in its higher state, for me, is worth living and dying for. It's worth traipsing around the globe, it's worth the accolades and the other side of the accolades...I always have sung to the angels and the higher parts of people's souls.
Cyndi Lauper
I absolutely refuse to reveal my age. What am I - a car?
Cyndi Lauper
If you fall, I will catch you. I will be waiting, time after time.
Cyndi Lauper
It's that anonymous person who meanders through the streets and feels what's happening there, feels the pulse of the people, who's able to create.
