"You can't control who likes you. If..." - Quote by Eminem

“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 was born with the biggest middle finger on Earth.”

“I was going to McDonald's and Taco Bell every day. The kids behind the counter knew me - it wouldn't even faze them. Or I'd sit up at Denny's or Big Boy and just eat by myself. It was sad. I got so heavy that people started to not recognize me.”

“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. It is not important that he should mature as soon as an apple-tree or oak. Shall he turn his spring into summer? If the condition of things which we were made for is not yet, what were any reality which we can substitute? We will not be shipwrecked on a vain reality.”

“The hero is suffered to be himself.”

“People who were more concerned with themselves and looking good to their readers then they were with the characters sacrificed a series for the sake of a story.”

“Bach is thus a terminal point. Nothing comes from him; everything merely leads to him.”

“Jazz speaks for life. The Blues tell the story of life's difficulties, and if you think for a moment, you will realize that they take the hardest realities of life and put them into music, only to come out with some new hope or sense of triumph.”

“The pianoforte is the most important of all musical instruments; its invention was to music what the invention of printing was to poetry.”
