More quotes by Little Richard
It was a way out of poverty. It was a way to success. It was a way to education. And it was a way to a brighter day for me.
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 also like the banging piano - that old good-time piano.
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 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 don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.
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

Little Richard
I am the architect of rock n' roll. I have to be a fan of all its forms.
Little Richard
And I don't get down on nobody else for doing whatever else they do. To each his own.
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
That's what Tina Turner did, too - sang blues up-tempo - and they called it 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
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 was really kind of shy as a child. But I would do things for attention.
Little Richard
