Quote of the Day (Cyndi Lauper, on Her Teens and Her Individuality)

“I withdrew, into music, records. I was different, and I was…you know, kids are cruel to each other. Now, it doesn’t bother me. I don’t give a shit what anybody says about me. You don’t like it, too fuckin’ bad. Because the truth is, you can’t stamp out individuality – there’s too many of us.”—American musician Cyndi Lauper, quoted in Kurt Loder, “Cyndi Lauper: Dream Girl,” Rolling Stone, May 24, 1984
