Eminem Quotes

Life
I do say things that I think will shock people. But I don't do things to shock people. I'm not trying to be the next Tupac, but I don't know how long I'm going to be on this planet. So while I'm here, I might as well make the most of it.

Lyrics
If I said in one of my songs that my English teacher wanted to have sex with me in junior high, all I'm saying, is that I'm not gay, you know? People confuse the lyrics for me speaking my mind. I don't agree with that life style, but if that lifestyle is for you, then it's your business.

Lyrics
A lot of my rhymes are just to get chuckles out of people. Anybody with half a brain is going to be able to tell when I'm joking and when I'm serious.

Hip Hop Music
You can't control who likes you. If I got Backstreet Boy fans what am I supposed to do? Turn them away? Whoever likes my stuff, likes my stuff but just know Slim Shady is hip hop, I grew up on hip hop, it's the music I love and it's the music I respect. I respect the culture... that's me.

Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera
I don't want them once they turn 18.

Fame
It doesn't exactly feel like a shock, but it's all new to me, and I'm taking it in as it comes.

Family
My family has never been there for me. They expect things because we're blood.

Infinite
Infinite was me trying to figure out how I wanted my rap style to be; how I wanted to sound on the mic and present myself. It was a growing stage. I felt like infinite was like a demo that just got pressed up.

Racism
At this point, I'm like "Come up with something new." I hate the same old questions. But it seems like "white" magazines such as Spin and Rolling Stone focus on my "whiteness" more than Black magazines.
