It's never too early to get married now.

I'm a woman. Every woman, I think, wants to get married and wants to have children.

I think beautiful is like looking like you take care of yourself.

I feel beautiful without makeup on, but when I do put makeup on, it just gives me this extra pop.

No one calls me Belcalis except for my family, my mother, and my daddy.

My sister's name is Hennessy, so everybody used to be, like, 'Bacardi' to me. Then I shortened it to Cardi B. The 'B' stands for whatever, depending on the day... beautiful or bully.

It's not that people want to be like me, but some want to say the things I say and can't because they're afraid. I say it for them.

I'm not as open as I used to be. I'm a little bit more filtered, and it kind of sucks, but it's the price you pay to get paid.

I'm on my phone 24-7. I see everything. I hear everything. I am the voice of the streets.

My Instagram got deleted a lot of times. I used to do rough jokes and curse a lot.

The women that inspire me to be honest are the women that struggle.

People are afraid to be themselves because people are afraid to be recorded. Everything is being recorded, and everyone is so sensitive. You say something; a section of people will be offended. It's so annoying; you got to be completely censored.

A lot of females, they want to do the things that I do. Some females are so closed, but they want to be open. Some girls, they want to feel that power that I tell them that I have. I tell women that I have power over these men, that I use these men.

When you hear my lyrics, you hear the shots that I throw at people. I throw shots because I always been the underdog. I got rejected so many times, and I say it in my lyrics constantly.

I have a passion for music; I love music. But I also have a passion for money and paying my bills.

If a girl have beef with me, she gon' have beef with me forever.

Ever since I started using guys, I feel so much better about myself. I feel so much more powerful.

I'll do something that brings me a check.

I'm gonna be famous forever.

Am I ever gonna grow thick skin? No.

I do feel kind of guilty sometimes 'cause, like, I could buy myself a $5,000 dress or a $3,000 dress, and I'm buying these things, but I'm knowing that my cousin need money for the rent. And then I gotta tell myself, 'Stop feeling guilty. You worked for this.'

I was always scared to follow my dreams because if I follow my dreams and I fail, I can't dream about it anymore. It's easier to settle for less.

I'm an October baby, yes.

The faster I make a lot of money, the faster I can have these kids I want.
