I'm pretty much happy with the things that have been handed to me already. Seven albums, eight arena tours ... I think there's nothing I really would look forward to besides winning a Grammy one day if that would happen.

At the end of the day, I want to spend time with my daughter, and this schedule enables me to do that while still having fun hosting '106 Park.' I'm not really eager to get back into music just yet; I'm really eager to get into another movie before I put out an album.

My fans love what I do. That's what makes me love what I do. I don't do it for myself. I don't do it for money. I really don't. I've turned down money. People know that. When my fans tell me, "Yo, that movie was dope!" it makes me want me to do more movies.

Music is the reason I'm doing movies; I do credit that. But acting is an escape route for me.

Trust me, pitfalls of early fame are always around. But you have to have the strength within yourself to say, "No!" Like tonight, I'd like to go out, and I have the freedom to do so. But I probably won't because I can't risk having my name associated with anything negative at this critical time. That's just to protect my brain and my job. There's no reason to play any games with a career I love.

All these Lil' rappers, I'm just kind of getting real irritated by it. I said, 'You know what? Drop the Lil'. Forget it. I'm Bow Wow.'

Money don’t change you, it changes the people around you.
