Little Richard Quotes

Some situations you cause yourself Picture Quote #1

I’m a conductor of revivals. The only minister in the whole package. Little Richard, the evangelist Picture Quote #1

I was always my own person Picture Quote #1

But I was singing loud, and most singers weren’t singing loud Picture Quote #1

But when I went on the stage to do a show, I would put on makeup because I felt that it enhanced my act; it drew attention to what I was doing Picture Quote #1

I think God made a woman to be strong and not to be trampled under the feet of men. I’ve always felt this way because my mother was a very strong woman, without a husband Picture Quote #1

I decided to come back and teach goodness in this business. To teach love, because music is the universal language. We are God’s bouquet, and through music we become one Picture Quote #1

When you sit down and think about what rock ‘n’ roll music really is, then you have to change that question. Played up-tempo, you call it rock ‘n’ roll; at a regular tempo, you call it rhythm and blues Picture Quote #1

‘The Beatles’ did whatever they wanted. They were a collection of influences adapted to songs they wanted to write. George Harrison was instrumental in bringing in Indian music. Paul McCartney was a huge Little Richard fan. John Lennon was into minimalist aggressive rock Picture Quote #1

I think people who don’t believe in God are crazy. How can you say there is no God when you hear the birds singing these beautiful songs you didn’t make? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been a fan of melody and emotional melancholy, whether it was Rites of Spring or Tears for Fears or Neil Young. If I hear a song that has a sweet melody, I’m a sucker for it, whether it’s Linkin Park or Little Richard Picture Quote #1

I came from a family where my people didn’t like rhythm and blues. Bing Crosby - pennies from Heaven - ella Fitzgerald, was all I heard Picture Quote #1

They shoulda called me Little Cocaine, I was sniffing so much of the stuff! My nose got big enough to back a diesel truck in, unload it, and drive it right out again Picture Quote #1

I heard Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, and that was it. I didn’t ever want to be anything else. I just started banging away and semi-studied classical music at the Royal Academy of Music but sort of half-heartedly Picture Quote #1

When Little Richard used to stand up and play it was just fabulous, and Liberace had the candlesticks and the rings and the gift of the gab. The piano’s is the most ungainly rock’ n’ roll instrument of all time but those two people transcended it, as did Jerry Lee Lewis Picture Quote #1

If I had my life to live over, I would want to be a man Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m in awe of people like Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard; they’re great musicians and people. But I’m most starstruck by people in the small town where I live. Especially single dads, like me, who are working five times as hard to raise their kids Picture Quote #1

I had a handful of records, but when I was 11 years old, I liked Puccini as much as Little Richard. They both made sense to me Picture Quote #1

No man had ever knocked little Richard down. But of course Ammm was not a man Picture Quote #1

I gave up rock ‘n’ roll for the rock of ages! I used to be a glaring homosexual until God changed me! Picture Quote #1

My songs are personal music, they’re not communal. I wouldn’t want people singing along with me. It would sound funny. I’m not playing campfire meetings. I don’t remember anyone singing along with Elvis, Carl Perkins or Little Richard Picture Quote #1

I thank God for Elvis Presley. I thank the Lord for sending Elvis to open the door so I could walk down the road Picture Quote #1

I think God made a woman to be strong and not to be trampled under the feet of men. I’ve always felt this way because my mother was a very strong woman, without a husband Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I had a little Richard and that black piano, oh that sweet Georgia Peach, and the boy form Tupelo Picture Quote #1

I also think that what’s wrong with all of us is that we don’t show enough love toward each other Picture Quote #1

I think they saw me as something like a deliverer, a way out. My means of expression, my music, was a way in which a lot of people wished they could express themselves and couldn’t Picture Quote #1

I was born in 1970 and I got to see a little bit of [Richard] Nixon’s attempts at redefining himself. I saw [Gerald] Ford Picture Quote #1
