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

If at first you don't succeed, you get back up and you try ... and you try ... and you try it again ... except ice skating, I hate this crap, I quit!

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

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

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.

It's not the size of the ship; it's the size of the waves.

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