More quotes by Little Richard
And I don't get down on nobody else for doing whatever else they do. To each his own.

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
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 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
