I don't have good business sense. You never get much money for the arts. But I like independence. I like to grow.
Cyndi Lauper
Sometimes my mind boggles. It's so deep my mind actually boggles

People can save the world by the way they think and by the way they behave and what they hold to be important.

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.

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.

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
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 have never been prouder to be a lifelong New Yorker than I am today with the passage of marriage equality.
Cyndi Lauper
I've always felt, even as a songwriter, that the rhythm of speech is in itself a language for 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
I wouldn't record any song that I didn't like.
Cyndi Lauper
I've got a Grammy and Emmy, I'd like to have a Tony.

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 wondered what it would be like if somebody from outer space landed with three heads. Then all of a sudden everybody else wouldn't look so bad, huh? Well, OK you're a little different from me but, hey, ya got one head.

Everything does go in a circle.

Somebody did complain to me and tell me that my clothes were so loud they couldn't hear me sing.
