More quotes by 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 tried to look presentable for a show, but not for sexual attraction. It was strictly for show business.
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 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
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
But I was singing loud, and most singers weren't singing loud.
Little Richard
I thank God for making me a man.
Little Richard

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
But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer that's my livelihood, my occupation.
Little Richard
I just want the world to know that God is present, that he's alive for ever more.
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 got a girl named Bony Maronie, she's as skinny as a stick of macaroni.
Little Richard
I'm a conductor of revivals. The only minister in the whole package. Little Richard, the evangelist.
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 let people know that it was all right to do the kinds of things I did.
Little Richard
