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

I was born with no money. So when people talk about Bow Wow being rich his whole life, I don't know where they get that.

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.

I feel like I just want to enjoy life and spend time with my daughter who is about to turn two, which is full-time job and the hardest job I've ever had in my life.

I can take all the negative energy and turn it into a positive simply by purging my soul through music. That's how powerful music can be.

Dealing with the fame and going from nothing and becoming something where everyone wants a piece of you, your life changes in a day.

I got a nice jumper on me, and i'm not just bragging.

My mother doesn't really embarrass me. Even when I was young. She understands my career.

I think I have a better chance at getting an Oscar before a Grammy.

You may spend years being somebody to everybody, yet you can't find 60 seconds to be someone to someone else. Find the time today to be somebody's someone.

I've got a cure for mental health issue. Spank your children more.

In my late teenage years, I developed a real passion for it, and wrote a lot of poetry.

When you create a fence, you keep people out, but you also limit your mobility.

I wish I weren’t reeling at all.

There's a difference between knowing what's on the page in a history book and actually feeling that page have curves and valleys.

The soul, too has her virginity and must bleed a little before bearing fruit.

I can't change everything by myself but I can be one of the people who are trying to change the situation.

How can you live without trusting people? There are more people who are good than people who are bad!

Maturity is largely about acquiring the confidence and the competence to make your own decisions.
