bedroom
My mother died, and I couldn't stand to look at her bedroom any more. I'd get sick. I've always been a momma's boy.
life
If I had my life to live over, I would want to be a man.
business
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.
architect believe people
A lot of people call me the architect of rock & roll. I don't call myself that, but I believe it's true.
happy-friday ideas patterns
I never accepted the idea that I had to be guided by some pattern or blueprint.
bunch dime good gotten miss money rhythm
I've never gotten money from most of those records. And I made those records: In the studio, they'd just give me a bunch of words, I'd make up a song! The rhythm and everything. 'Good Golly Miss Molly'! And I didn't get a dime for it.
