More quotes by 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
And I don't get down on nobody else for doing whatever else they do. To each his own.
Little Richard
If at first you don't succeed, you get back up and you try ... and you try ... and you try it again ... except ice skating, I hate this crap, I quit!
Little Richard
I let people know that it was all right to do the kinds of things I did.
Little Richard
But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer that's my livelihood, my occupation.
Little Richard
I'm a conductor of revivals. The only minister in the whole package. Little Richard, the evangelist.
Little Richard
I don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.
Little Richard
I just want the world to know that God is present, that he's alive for ever more.
Little Richard
I've never seen the devil create music.
Little Richard
I am the architect of rock n' roll. I have to be a fan of all its forms.
Little Richard
I try to be a guide for people, to make their darkness bright and to make the pathway light, and never to condemn or control or criticize.
Little Richard
I was directed and commanded by another power. The power of darkness. The power that you've heard so much about. The power that a lot of people don't believe exists. The power of the Devil. Satan.
Little Richard
I also like the banging piano - that old good-time piano.
Little Richard
And I think a woman should find it a joy to be female because God made both male and female.
Little Richard
We're gonna have some fun tonight.
Little Richard
Elvis was God-given, there's no other explanation. A Messiah comes around every few thousand years, and Elvis was it this time.
Little Richard
I did what I felt, and I felt what I did, at all costs.
Little Richard
I invented rock & roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist.
Little Richard
That's what Tina Turner did, too - sang blues up-tempo - and they called it rock 'n' roll.
Little Richard
I tried to look presentable for a show, but not for sexual attraction. It was strictly for show business.
Little Richard
