Little Richard
I never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.
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 always knew I was a man, always felt that I was a man, always wanted to be a man.
Little Richard
