More quotes by Little Richard

Little Richard
I'm a conductor of revivals. The only minister in the whole package. Little Richard, the evangelist.
Little Richard
I don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.
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
And I think a woman should find it a joy to be female because God made both male and female.
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

Little Richard
I got a girl named Bony Maronie, she's as skinny as a stick of macaroni.
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
And I don't get down on nobody else for doing whatever else they do. To each his own.
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
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 also like the banging piano - that old good-time piano.
Little Richard
I just want the world to know that God is present, that he's alive for ever more.
Little Richard
