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

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.

I am the innovator. I am the originator. I am the emancipator. I am the architect of rock 'n' roll!

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

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

But I was singing loud, and most singers weren't singing loud.

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