More quotes by Little Richard
I never heard nobody in my audience call me any kind of names.
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 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 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 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
I don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.
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
God gives us the ability, but rock 'n' roll was created by men.
Little Richard
No, I've never truly been a minister.
Little Richard
It's not the size of the ship it's the size of the waves.
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 just want the world to know that God is present, that he's alive for ever more.
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 think a woman should find it a joy to be female because God made both male and female.
Little Richard
I was really kind of shy as a child. But I would do things for attention.
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
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
