Bekannte Zitate von Eminem

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

Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love.

You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it's kind of a lifestyle and it's easy to get caught up in it - you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone's doing a certain thing... It's tough.

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

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

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.

The details surrounding both my marriage and subsequent filing for divorce are private, and I had hoped to keep them that way for the sake of my family.

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

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

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.

My father? I never knew him. Never even seen a picture of him.

The kids are old enough now - I just want to let them be kids. I don't want to comment on them too much. They're at an age where I just want to let them be kids.

Trust is hard to come by. That's why my circle is small and tight. I'm kind of funny about making new friends.

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.'

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.

Ultimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.

Before I was famous, when I was just working in Gilbert's Lodge, everything was moving in slow motion.

It feels good to have your work respected again.

Honestly, I'd love to be remembered as one of the best to ever pick up a mic, but if I'm doing my part to lessen some racial tension I feel good about what I'm doing.

I need drama in my life to keep making music.

People can try to reinvent themselves. I don't think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you've done up to now.
