Tamala Jones: Lucille

Quotes 

• Little Richard : [after a bandmate complains of wearing sissy make-up]  Being pretty ain't never bothered me. Ain't that right, Lucille?

  Lucille : 'Bout the prettiest boy I've ever seen.

  Little Richard : Now, sneaking in the back doors so the white folks don't see us till we're on stage, eating in a parking lot of some restaurant that I wouldn't even pay to eat at the counter at, now *that* bothers me. Being called a sissy?

  [pause] 

  Little Richard : You look-a here! Them white kids, they're dancing to *our* music! Okay, they may have Pat Boone on their record player in case their parents walk in, but they got *my* record underneath their pillow. You know which show we're playing here? You know how many colors have played here? None! You know why? 'Cause they can't! I am the first! I am the only! So if you wanna call me a sissy, go ahead! Knock yourself out, boy! But you make sure you call me a rich sissy. And you do as I do, you all gonna be rich sissies, too. Now, where my eyeliner?
