Eminem

I don't hate women - they just sometimes make me mad.

A lot of truth is said in jest.

Well, I'm working all the time to stay out of trouble!

Anything I've ever said, I certainly was feeling at the time.

I don't think I've ever read poetry, ever.

I've accomplished enough with the music that I haven't had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.

Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.

If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don't back down.

Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.

I try to treat all the money I'm making like it's the last time I'm going to make it.

I'd go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked.

I love the attention but I don't like too much of it.

I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There's no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.

If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.

I need drama in my life to keep making music.

The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed.

A lot of the problems I had with fame I was bringing on myself. A lot of self-loathing, a lot of woe-is-me. Now I'm learning to see the positive side of things, instead of, like, 'I can't go to Kmart. I can't take my kids to the haunted house.'

Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end.

I didn't have nothin' going for me... school, home... until I found something I loved, which was music, and that changed everything.

Say there's a white kid who lives in a nice home, goes to an all-white school, and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter - for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me, because what that's saying is that he's living a fantasy life of rebellion.
