More quotes by Little Richard
I let people know that it was all right to do the kinds of things I did.
Little Richard
People called rock & roll 'African music.' They called it 'voodoo music.' They said that it would drive the kids insane. They said that it was just a flash in the pan - the same thing that they always used to say about hip-hop.
Little Richard
It was a way out of poverty. It was a way to success. It was a way to education. And it was a way to a brighter day for me.
Little Richard
I got a girl named Bony Maronie, she's as skinny as a stick of macaroni.
Little Richard
I always knew I was a man, always felt that I was a man, always wanted to be a man.
Little Richard
I am the innovator. I am the originator. I am the emancipator. I am the architect of rock 'n' roll!
Little Richard
I am the architect of rock n' roll. I have to be a fan of all its forms.
Little Richard
I'm very much a gentleman in what I do.

Little Richard
I look back on my life, comin' out of Macon, Georgia - I never thought I'd be a superstar, a living legend. I never heard of no rock and roll in my life.
Little Richard
I tried to look presentable for a show, but not for sexual attraction. It was strictly for show business.
Little Richard
I never heard nobody in my audience call me any kind of names.
Little Richard
Rock 'n' roll offered me a platform to speak what I felt. It also offered me a platform to support my mama and my brothers and sisters - twelve children.
Little Richard
I never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.
Little Richard
I've never seen the devil create music.
Little Richard
I was really kind of shy as a child. But I would do things for attention.
Little Richard
And I think a woman should find it a joy to be female because God made both male and female.
Little Richard
But when I went on the stage to do a show, I would put on makeup because I felt that it enhanced my act it drew attention to what I was doing.
Little Richard
I also like the banging piano - that old good-time piano.
Little Richard
