More quotes by Cyndi Lauper
There have been great things that happened to me.
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
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 mother said I was a little odd as a kid. I was alone a lot, but I didn't feel alone.
Cyndi Lauper
Somebody did complain to me and tell me that my clothes were so loud they couldn't hear me sing.
Cyndi Lauper
My music is about a joyful experience. I've learned that if you can affect other people, you should.
Cyndi Lauper
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.
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
People can save the world by the way they think and by the way they behave and what they hold to be important.
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
I've got a Grammy and Emmy, I'd like to have a Tony.
Cyndi Lauper
When I sing I have a lot of visions. Like what's happening now in my life.
Cyndi Lauper
Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world, I want to be the one to walk in the sun.
Cyndi Lauper
On my darkest days, I wear my brightest colors.
Cyndi Lauper
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
You know, I do speak the Queens English. It's just the wrong Queens that's all. It's over the 59th Street Bridge. It's not over the Atlantic Ocean.
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
I wouldn't record any song that I didn't like.
Cyndi Lauper
I come from a line of great Sicilian women, and their mentality is to endure and push through to the other side.
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.
