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.

I don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.

A lot of people call me the architect of rock & roll. I don't call myself that, but I believe it's true.

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

Rock 'n' roll doesn't glorify God. You can't drink out of God's cup and the devil's cup at the same time. I was one of the pioneers of that music, one of the builders. I know what the blocks are made of because I built them.

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 think a woman has to act like a man to show that she has strength.
