Understand where it is you want to go. Then picture yourself there. If you can picture yourself there, then you can be there. Bottom line.
From Cyndi Lauper
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.
I learned jazz; that comes from blues. I learned rock; that comes from blues. I learned pop; that comes from blues. Even dance, that comes from blues, with the answer-and-response.
My music is about a joyful experience. I've learned that if you can affect other people, you should.
God has more important things to worry about than who I sleep with.
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.
Before I became famous I had a very full life, and that gave me a lot to pick from. I always use everything. It always comes in handy. Working with animals... Well, I just enjoyed that. That was the most peaceful time.
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.
I've always felt, even as a songwriter, that the rhythm of speech is in itself a language for me.
