- Cyndi: It is not a dirty word, "feminism." I just think that women belong in the human population with the same rights as everybody else. ... The problem is, "A feminist looks like this, or is like that." We are taught not to like ourselves as women, we are taught what we're supposed to look like, what our measurements are supposed to be. I never hear what measurements men are supposed to be. Just women.

- Cyndi: Sometimes my mind boggles. It's so deep my mind actually boggles.

- Cyndi: Humour is a great vehicle for getting a message across. If you get too serious, you could die of starch.
