More quotes by Little Richard
I've never seen the devil create music.
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
But I was singing loud, and most singers weren't singing loud.
Little Richard
I'm very much a gentleman in what I do.
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 always knew I was a man, always felt that I was a man, always wanted to be a man.
Little Richard
God gives us the ability, but rock 'n' roll was created by men.
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 don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.
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
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
That's what Tina Turner did, too - sang blues up-tempo - and they called it rock 'n' roll.
Little Richard
But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer that's my livelihood, my occupation.
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
And I think a woman should find it a joy to be female because God made both male and female.
Little Richard
No, I've never truly been a minister.
Little Richard
I just want the world to know that God is present, that he's alive for ever more.
Little Richard
I thank God for Elvis Presley. I thank the Lord for sending Elvis to open the door so I could walk down the road.
Little Richard
I invented rock & roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist.
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
