Cardi B

I had very strict parents, I could never go outside or go to parties.

I was a little hesitant to do 'Love & Hip-Hop' because sometimes reality TV can be good for your music career and sometimes bad.

I'm not domestic. I think I will be. I love kids. I really want to have a kid, but I'm not a domestic person.

That was an organic relationship. He reached out to me, and I was like, 'Oh my God, I cannot believe somebody like Laquan Smith wants to put his clothes on me.' He comes from a small place, and he has big dreams, and what I like about him the most is that his clothes curve with your body.

I love Lady Gaga. When I was in high school, I really wanted to dress like her.

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

I cannot turn my life back around. I'm already a public figure, I'm famous... It's like, I might as well keep it going, might as well make the money.

I really don't look up to anybody that is doing that great in life, because I don't know their story.

I used to worry a lot. I still worry a lot, but not about the things that I used to worry about because my younger self, I didn't regret anything that I ever did... I was happy, and I was free, and I was living it up.

I just feel like I influence people because I'm like - I was practically homeless.

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 a funny person, but I take my music seriously.
