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.

More quotes by Little Richard
No, I've never truly been a minister.
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 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
But I was singing loud, and most singers weren't singing loud.
Little Richard
I let people know that it was all right to do the kinds of things I did.
Little Richard

Little Richard
And I don't get down on nobody else for doing whatever else they do. To each his own.
Little Richard
I just want the world to know that God is present, that he's alive for ever more.
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'm very much a gentleman in what I do.
Little Richard
I am the architect of rock n' roll. I have to be a fan of all its forms.
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 don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.
Little Richard
I was really kind of shy as a child. But I would do things for attention.
Little Richard
That's what Tina Turner did, too - sang blues up-tempo - and they called it rock 'n' roll.
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 thank God for making me a man.
Little Richard
I'm a conductor of revivals. The only minister in the whole package. Little Richard, the evangelist.
Little Richard
I got a girl named Bony Maronie, she's as skinny as a stick of macaroni.
Little Richard
