"I don't think I ever thought of..." - Quote by Eminem

“You'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.”

“Sometimes I'm real cool, but sometimes I could be a real asshole. I think everyone is like that.”

“Rap was my drug.”

“We always get bored with those whom we bore.”

“I think that I am better than the people who are trying to reform me.”

“Likewise, every time somebody interjects to speak of my honesty there is someone who quivers inside me.”

“Newspaper people have a habit of putting you in the front pages to sell their papers, and then after they've sold their papers and got big circulations, they say, 'Look at what we've done for you”

“That's basically what the drive is: "I want to be famous, I want to be noticed, and I want to be approved of." That's basically what you're after. "Give me attention, give me applause, give me an audience. A. A. A. Straight As." That's all you're looking for.”

“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.”
