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 never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.
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 was really kind of shy as a child. But I would do things for attention.
Little Richard
I don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.
Little Richard
I did what I felt, and I felt what I did, at all costs.
Little Richard
