More quotes by Little Richard
And I don't get down on nobody else for doing whatever else they do. To each his own.
Little Richard
But I was singing loud, and most singers weren't singing loud.
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 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 am the innovator. I am the originator. I am the emancipator. I am the architect of rock 'n' roll!
Little Richard
I thank God for making me a man.
Little Richard

Little Richard
I did what I felt, and I felt what I did, at all costs.
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
And I think a woman should find it a joy to be female because God made both male and female.
Little Richard
I let people know that it was all right to do the kinds of things I did.
Little Richard
God gives us the ability, but rock 'n' roll was created by men.
Little Richard
I'm very much a gentleman in what I do.
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 don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.
Little Richard
I invented rock & roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist.
Little Richard
I never heard nobody in my audience call me any kind of names.
Little Richard
