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.

More quotes by 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 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
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
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
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
I come from a line of great Sicilian women, and their mentality is to endure and push through to the other side.
Cyndi Lauper
People used to throw rocks at me for my clothes, now they wanna know where I buy them.
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 knew Queen Elizabeth didn't do any laundry! I knew I wasn't going to be doing laundry. I was going to be singing.
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
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
I wanna go south and get some more. Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine, they say I better stop or I'll go blind.
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
Somebody did complain to me and tell me that my clothes were so loud they couldn't hear me sing.
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
If you fall, I will catch you. I will be waiting, time after time.
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.
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.
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
