The legendary Rocker was never too shy to speak his mind whatever was his state of spirit or mind. Here’s 12 of his best quotes

1

Elvis may be the King of Rock and Roll, but I am the Queen.

2

I think God made a woman to be strong and not to be trampled under the feet of men. I’ve always felt this way because my mother was a very strong woman, without a husband.

3

Gay people are the sweetest, kindest, most artistic, warmest and most thoughtful people in the world. And since the beginning of time all they’ve ever been is kicked.

4

And I think a woman should find it a joy to be female because God made both male and female.

5

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

6

7

And I’d like to give my love to everybody, and let them know that the grass may look greener on the other side, but believe me, it’s just as hard to cut.

8

9

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.

10

Black people lived right by the railroad tracks, and the train would shake their houses at night. I would hear it as a boy, and I thought: I’m gonna make a song that sounds like that.



11

People called rock & roll ‘African music.’ They called it ‘voodoo music.’ They said that it would drive the kids insane. They said that it was just a flash in the pan – the same thing that they always used to say about hip-hop.

12

I think my legacy should be that when I started in show business, there wasn’t no such thing as rock n’ roll. When I started with ‘Tutti Frutti,’ that’s when rock really started rocking.
