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 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 never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.
Little Richard
I'm very much a gentleman in what I do.
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
I tried to look presentable for a show, but not for sexual attraction. It was strictly for show business.
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
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 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
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 am the innovator. I am the originator. I am the emancipator. I am the architect of rock 'n' roll!
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
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'm a conductor of revivals. The only minister in the whole package. Little Richard, the evangelist.
Little Richard
That's what Tina Turner did, too - sang blues up-tempo - and they called it 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 am the architect of rock n' roll. I have to be a fan of all its forms.
Little Richard
We're gonna have some fun tonight.
Little Richard
