And I don't get down on nobody else for doing whatever else they do. To each his own.

I look back on my life, comin' out of Macon, Georgia - I never thought I'd be a superstar, a living legend. I never heard of no rock and roll in my life.

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

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

I decided to come back and teach goodness in this business. To teach love, because music is the universal language. We are God's bouquet, and through music we become one.

I've never seen the devil create music.

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.
