More quotes by Little Richard

Little Richard
I never heard nobody in my audience call me any kind of names.
Little Richard

Little Richard
But I was singing loud, and most singers weren't singing loud.
Little Richard
I don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.
Little Richard
I'm very much a gentleman in what I do.

Little Richard
It's not the size of the ship it's the size of the waves.

Little Richard
