I try to be a guide for people, to make their darkness bright and to make the pathway light, and never to condemn or control or criticize.

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

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

No, I've never truly been a minister.

I think that a man should be caring.

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

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