Little Richard
I always knew I was a man, always felt that I was a man, always wanted to be a man.
Little Richard
No, I've never truly been a minister.

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 never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.
Little Richard
I did what I felt, and I felt what I did, at all costs.
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
