Black people lived right by the railroad tracks, and the train would shake their houses at night. I would hear it as a boy, and I thought: I'm gonna make a song that sounds like that.
From Little Richard
I think my legacy should be that when I started in show business, there wasn't no such thing as rock n' roll. When I started with 'Tutti Frutti,' that's when rock really started rocking.
I also think that what's wrong with all of us is that we don't show enough love toward each other.
But men are so full of greed today, they'll sell anything for a little piece of money.
I don't think a woman has to act like a man to show that she has strength.
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.
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.
I don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.
I never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.
I would wear flamboyant clothes and long hair, and most singers at the time didn't.
