To the people I forgot, you weren't on my mind for some reason and you probably don't deserve any thanks anyway.
EminemI'm thankful for the talent in which God gave me and I'm thankful for the environment that he placed me.
EminemYou're not going to say anything about me that I'm not going to say about myself. There's so many things that I think about myself; if someone really wanted to get at me, they could say this and this and this. So I'm going to say it before they can. It's the best policy for me.
EminemThe writing process, the way I go about it is I do whatever the beat feels like, whatever the beat is telling me to do. Usually when the beat comes on, I think of a hook or the subject I want to rap about almost instantly. Within four, eight bars of it playing I'm just like, 'Oh, OK. This is what I wanna do'.
