Cyndi Lauper: 'Meeting Lady Gaga inspired me to embrace my individuality'Music icon Cyndi Lauper has confessed that she was inspired by Lady Gaga to be bold and to embrace her individuality. During a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the 'True Colours' legend explained that she felt stunted creatively in the music industry until she met the 'Born This Way' sensation: ''The suits would say to me, ''Your image is so big, I can't hear you sing.'' But those are corporate people who don't understand performance art. There was a time, around the early 90s, when they kept telling me, 'Your true colours should just shine from the inside', and I got plainer and plainer and plainer." Lauper went onto add that meeting Gaga broke down these walls and allowed her to be herself: "I looked at myself in the mirror and said, 'Who the f**k are you?' I think I was floundering. When I met Lady Gaga [in 2009], I think I woke up. ''I'll have freaking coloured hair when I want!'' Follow us: @Pressparty on Twitter / Pressparty on Facebook.
