I want to be able to do whatever I feel like doing and not worry about anything. Even when I was a kid, the only contemporary artist I listened to was Cyndi Lauper.

Fiona Apple

Growing up, I was the awkward, chubby kid. I had a few close friends, but I was the first one to be bullied.

Dan Amboyer

Cyndi Lauper knows how to work a crowd.

Ben Brantley

I was in the video for Cyndi Lauper's 'Sally's Pigeons' when I first started acting.

Julia Stiles

Cyndi Lauper was hilarious and generous, someone I'd loved from childhood who didn't disappoint.

Emma Forrest

I was such a fan of Cyndi Lauper and her whole 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' thing.

Lea Thompson

I had been taking various lessons. I've also had a lot of incredible singers give me a ton of great advice. From Cyndi Lauper, who kind of taught me the basics, and I've also worked with Bird. She's a tremendous coach and she often coaches the contestants on 'American Idol.' I've had a great amount of support.

Margaret Cho

I was on stage with Cyndi Lauper, and my trousers split. It seemed like she was going to sing for ever.

Bobby Womack

Like it or not, we are all liars. Thank goodness. Imagine going through life where everyone is completely honest: 'Those shoes... look like something out of an early Cyndi Lauper video.' 'Your daughter... looks like the spawn of Honey Boo Boo and Elmer Fudd.'

Pamela Meyer

When I was growing up, I didn't really know much about being popular or cliques or anything like that. In elementary school and middle school, you start to kind of realize what it's all about. There are cool kids, and then there's you, and you're just trying to figure out where you fit in.I learned a lot about acceptance and rejection,Those are the themes that you'll find spread throughout my music and weaved in throughout all of the lyrics. I really know what it's like to be accepted, and I also know what it's like to be rejected. And those are lessons I learned in Wyomissing.

Taylor Swift

I’ve learned the most from Randy Harrison. Because of his fantastic imaginary world filled with bizarre friends. He is constantly giving us good advice.

Gale Harold

As a girl I wanted the Cyndi Lauper hairstyle, with the shaved side of the head, or the Sharon Stone perm from 'Total Recall.'

Malin Akerman

We're not always in the position that we want to be at. We're constantly growing, we're constantly making mistakes, we're constantly trying to express ourselves and trying to actualize our dreams.

Kanye West

I get my inspiration for my songs and the lyrics from experiences in my life, but I'm also very inspired by the Beatles and Cyndi Lauper, as I really like their music.
