More quotes by Little Richard
That's what Tina Turner did, too - sang blues up-tempo - and they called it rock 'n' roll.
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
I never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.
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 just want the world to know that God is present, that he's alive for ever more.
Little Richard
And I don't get down on nobody else for doing whatever else they do. To each his own.
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 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'm very much a gentleman in what I do.
Little Richard
But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer that's my livelihood, my occupation.
Little Richard
I always knew I was a man, always felt that I was a man, always wanted to be a man.
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 tried to look presentable for a show, but not for sexual attraction. It was strictly for show business.
Little Richard
I thank God for Elvis Presley. I thank the Lord for sending Elvis to open the door so I could walk down the road.
Little Richard
I let people know that it was all right to do the kinds of things I did.
Little Richard
I thank God for making me a man.
Little Richard
I also like the banging piano - that old good-time piano.
Little Richard
It's not the size of the ship it's the size of the waves.
Little Richard
I never heard nobody in my audience call me any kind of names.
Little Richard
I got a girl named Bony Maronie, she's as skinny as a stick of macaroni.
Little Richard
