Little Richard
I thank God for making me a man.
Little Richard
I'm very much a gentleman in what I do.
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 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
I've never seen the devil create music.
Little Richard
But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer that's my livelihood, my occupation.

I got a girl named Bony Maronie, she's as skinny as a stick of macaroni.

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
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 always knew I was a man, always felt that I was a man, always wanted to be a man.
Little Richard
I also like the banging piano - that old good-time piano.
Little Richard
I invented rock & roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist.
Little Richard
I did what I felt, and I felt what I did, at all costs.
Little Richard
I don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.
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 think a woman should find it a joy to be female because God made both male and female.
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 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
