More quotes by 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
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
We're gonna have some fun tonight.
Little Richard
That's what Tina Turner did, too - sang blues up-tempo - and they called it rock 'n' roll.
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
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 never heard nobody in my audience call me any kind of names.
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
I'm a conductor of revivals. The only minister in the whole package. Little Richard, the evangelist.
Little Richard
I was really kind of shy as a child. But I would do things for attention.
Little Richard
I just want the world to know that God is present, that he's alive for ever more.
Little Richard
I invented rock & roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist.
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 thank God for making me a man.
Little Richard
I always knew I was a man, always felt that I was a man, always wanted to be a man.
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
I tried to look presentable for a show, but not for sexual attraction. It was strictly for show business.
Little Richard
I also like the banging piano - that old good-time piano.
Little Richard
But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer that's my livelihood, my occupation.
Little Richard
