More quotes by Little Richard
I never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.
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
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 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 just want the world to know that God is present, that he's alive for ever more.
Little Richard
I thank God for making me a man.
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'd like to give my love to everybody, and let them know that the grass may look greener on the other side, but believe me, it's just as hard to cut.
Little Richard
God gives us the ability, but rock 'n' roll was created by men.
Little Richard
I let people know that it was all right to do the kinds of things I did.
Little Richard
That's what Tina Turner did, too - sang blues up-tempo - and they called it rock 'n' roll.
Little Richard
I always knew I was a man, always felt that I was a man, always wanted to be a man.
Little Richard
And I don't get down on nobody else for doing whatever else they do. To each his own.
Little Richard
It's not the size of the ship it's the size of the waves.
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 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 invented rock & roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist.
Little Richard
But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer that's my livelihood, my occupation.
Little Richard
I am the architect of rock n' roll. I have to be a fan of all its forms.
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
