Came to the world at a time when it was in need of a villain. An asshole, that role I think I succeed in fulfilling. Dont think I ever stopped to think I was speaking to children. Everything was happening so fast, it was like I blinked, sold three million.
EminemSporadic thoughts will pop into my head and I'll have to go write something down, and the next thing you know, I've written a whole song in an hour.
EminemThe devil's spirit's trapped inside me. My soul is possessed by this devil my new name is Rain Man. So I keep conjuring (demons), sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn (Satan) from. I'm just relaying what the voice in my head's saying. Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just friends with the monster that's under my bed. Get along with the voices inside of my head.
EminemI'm certainly not a f**king fashion consultant. Don't call me if you want to know how to dress. I just rap. That's all I really know how to do.
EminemI've accomplished enough with the music that I haven't had to go out there and do other things to over-saturate.
EminemI'd go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked.
EminemLook, if you had one shot, or one opportunity. To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment. Would you capture it or just let it slip?
EminemTold me my tape taught them to swear. What about the make-up you allow your 12 year old daughter to wear?
EminemI want to keep making records as long as I can, but I don't know how long you can be taken seriously in rap.
EminemI like it when people talk s**t. Because if people weren't talking s**t, there would be nothing for me to come back with. I need that. If I don't have any ammo, what am I going to say?
EminemNow who is the king of these lewd, ludicrous, lucrative lyrics; who could inherit the title, to put the youth in hysterics; using his music as spirit
EminemI 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.
EminemBut you lied again. Now you get to watch her leave out the window. Guess that's why they call it 'window pane.
EminemI sold my soul to the devil. I'm going to hell. I'm headed to hell. I want the money, the women, the fortune, and the fame. That Means I'll end up burning in hell scorching in flames. Satan'll be in to see me later to see if I'm interested in being partners. Devil worshippin', Satan music.
EminemPeople 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.
EminemWhen you're a little kid, you don't see color, and the fact that my friends were black never crossed my mind. It never became an issue until I was a teenager and started trying to rap.
EminemA 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.'
EminemI don't care if you're black, white, straight, bisexual, gay, lesbian, short, tall, fat, skinny, rich or poor. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you. Simple as that.
EminemI think if two people love each other, then what the hell? I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable, if they want. It's the new tolerant me!
EminemI think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.
EminemIt was my decision to get clean, I did it for me Admittedly I probably did it subliminally for you
EminemMy songs can make you cry, take you by surprise at the same time, can make you dry your eyes with the same rhyme
