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

I invented rock & roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist.

I am the architect of rock n' roll. I have to be a fan of all its forms.

A-bop-bop-a-loom-op-a-lop-bop-boom.

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?

Plus I love Tanya Tucker and I love country music.

I'm a conductor of revivals. The only minister in the whole package. Little Richard, the evangelist.
