More quotes by Little Richard
I thank God for making me a man.
Little Richard
But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer that's my livelihood, my occupation.
Little Richard
I'm very much a gentleman in what I do.
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
I don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.
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
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 architect of rock n' roll. I have to be a fan of all its forms.
Little Richard
I tried to look presentable for a show, but not for sexual attraction. It was strictly for show business.
Little Richard
We're gonna have some fun tonight.
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
I'm a conductor of revivals. The only minister in the whole package. Little Richard, the evangelist.
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 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
No, I've never truly been a minister.
Little Richard
I also like the banging piano - that old good-time piano.
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 am the innovator. I am the originator. I am the emancipator. I am the architect of rock 'n' roll!
Little Richard
