If you want a strong society, it has to be inclusive. If you have to push a boulder up a hill, do you want 10 people or 100? If you weed out colour or gender, you get 10.

People used to throw rocks at me for my clothes, now they wanna know where I buy them.
Cyndi Lauper
I lucked out when I started to sing. I'd already experienced failing at everything else.
Cyndi Lauper
Sharon Osbourne is such a blast and she's so, so bright.
Cyndi Lauper
I have a wig for when I go outside among the regular folks, so they don't feel uncomfortable because I have a Day-Glo color somewhere in my hair.
Cyndi Lauper
Everything does go in a circle.

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
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 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.

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
Understand where it is you want to go. Then picture yourself there. If you can picture yourself there, then you can be there. Bottom line.
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
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
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
If we truly want to end youth homelessness... then we have to invest in prevention and support communities as they work to implement these life-changing efforts.
Cyndi Lauper
I absolutely refuse to reveal my age. What am I - a car?
Cyndi Lauper
Men and women are different. I don't think men grow a brain until 26 or even 30. Girls mature a lot quicker.
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 music is about a joyful experience. I've learned that if you can affect other people, you should.
Cyndi Lauper
My mother said I was a little odd as a kid. I was alone a lot, but I didn't feel alone.
Cyndi Lauper
I've always felt, even as a songwriter, that the rhythm of speech is in itself a language for me.
