Cyndi Lauper People Quotations

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.

People used to complain to me all the time, 'I can't even hear you sing because your clothes are so loud.

People used to throw rocks at me for my clothes, now they wanna know where I buy them.

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.

I'm not gonna worry about what people think about me. I'm too busy. I don't give a hoot.

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

OK, let's really talk about Jenny. People who can fight, can --.
