More quotes by Little Richard
It was a way out of poverty. It was a way to success. It was a way to education. And it was a way to a brighter day for me.
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
It's not the size of the ship it's the size of the waves.

I never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.
Little Richard
I was really kind of shy as a child. But I would do things for attention.
Little Richard
I did what I felt, and I felt what I did, at all costs.

Little Richard
I'm very much a gentleman in what I do.
Little Richard

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
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
But I was singing loud, and most singers weren't singing loud.
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 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 innovator. I am the originator. I am the emancipator. I am the architect of rock 'n' roll!
Little Richard
