Cyndi Lauper

“I absolutely refuse to reveal my age. What am I - a car?”

“I lucked out when I started to sing. I'd already experienced failing at everything else.”

“My mother said I was a little odd as a kid. I was alone a lot, but I didn't feel alone.”

“I don't have good business sense. You never get much money for the arts. But I like independence. I like to grow.”

“With fame, I'm able to create more. With every success, you have more freedom to create.”

“God has more important things to worry about than who I sleep with.”

“My music is about a joyful experience. I've learned that if you can affect other people, you should.”

“You always have to remember - no matter what you're told - that God loves all the flowers, even the wild ones that grow on the side of the highway.”
