People at rehab were stealing my hats and pens and notebooks and asking for autographs. I couldn't concentrate on my problem.

Somewhere deep down there's a decent man in me, he just can't be found.

Slim Shady is just the evil thoughts that come into my head. Things I shouldn't be thinking about. Not to be gimmicky, but people should be able to determine when I'm serious and when I'm f... around. That's why a lot of my songs are funny. I got a warped sense of humor I guess.

I am who I am and I say what I think. I'm not putting a face on for the record.

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

It's just hard when you've spent so much time on something, writing and recording, laying the vocals, getting the hook right, getting the beat right, making everything sound right - you spent a freaking week trying to make it sound perfect, and someone comes along and shoots it down.

I want to solidify as an artist and show that as I grow as a person and make mistakes and learn from them, I'm going to grow artistically.
