Cardi B

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

Am I ever gonna grow a thick skin? No.

I don’t know how to drive.

I’m surprised Beyonce liked me. I met Beyonce!!

I wanna hear myself everywhere

I’m bout this shmoney!

We usually never got out of there before four or five o’clock in the morning. Every morning. So it was rough.

Jazz music just resonates with the frequency of me.

There’s nobody plays like me and I don’t play like anybody else.

I’m my own most merciless critic onstage.

[Stratocaster vs Les Paul] It’s a totally different animal. One is for very subtle and, I would say, more musical things that you can distract and abuse. You can’t do that with a Les Paul. It’s too delicate. It’s got a very delicate tone; most people don’t ever realize that because they are plugged into monstrous amplifiers which completely, instantaneously covers up the unique sound quality it has. All those years of development go straight out the window when you overload the amp.

[Ben Taylor] He is an interesting combination of the two of us. His voice box is more like mine but the way his tongue sits in his mouth, and the way he pronounces words, is just like James Taylor.

It was when I found out I could make mistakes that I knew I was on to something.

Jazz is a living music; since its beginning has expressed the feelings, dreams and hopes of the people.

A Les Paul feels like a guitar and I play differently on that and I sound too much like someone else.

I always think of music as interior decoration. So, if you have all kinds of music, you are fully decorated!

Jazz music is our original American culture.

You have to be a bastard to make it, and that’s a fact. And the Beatles are the biggest bastards on earth.

You’re just as beautiful as you feel.

Man, if you gotta ask you’ll never know.

I am only a mixture of countless influences and thanks to that I am able to find my own style of playing.
