Little Richard
It's not the size of the ship it's the size of the waves.
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 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 always knew I was a man, always felt that I was a man, always wanted to be a man.
Little Richard
