Little Richard

But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer; that's my livelihood, my occupation.

I don't think a woman has to act like a man to show that she has strength.

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.

I've never gotten money from most of those records. And I made those records: In the studio, they'd just give me a bunch of words, I'd make up a song! The rhythm and everything. 'Good Golly Miss Molly'! And I didn't get a dime for it.

But men are so full of greed today, they'll sell anything for a little piece of money.

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.

I just want the world to know that God is present, that he's alive for ever more.

I don't think that you have to be effeminate to be sensitive.

God is omnipotent, He is omniscient, and He is ever present.

Greed has taken the whole universe, and nobody is worried about their soul.

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.

Plus I love Tanya Tucker and I love country music.
