More quotes by 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 was really kind of shy as a child. But I would do things for attention.
Little Richard
I never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.
Little Richard
No, I've never truly been a minister.
Little Richard
I never heard nobody in my audience call me any kind of names.
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
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 invented rock & roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist.
Little Richard
I let people know that it was all right to do the kinds of things I did.
Little Richard
I'm very much a gentleman in what I do.
Little Richard
I'm a conductor of revivals. The only minister in the whole package. Little Richard, the evangelist.
Little Richard
Gay people are the sweetest, kindest, most artistic, warmest and most thoughtful people in the world. And since the beginning of time all they've ever been is kicked.
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
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
We're gonna have some fun tonight.
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
And I think a woman should find it a joy to be female because God made both male and female.
Little Richard
I am the architect of rock n' roll. I have to be a fan of all its forms.
Little Richard
I got a girl named Bony Maronie, she's as skinny as a stick of macaroni.
Little Richard
