Quotes By Eminem
Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.
Eminem

Eminem

Yeah, I did see where the people dissing me were coming from. But, it's like, anything that happened in the past between black and white, I can't really speak on it, because I wasn't there. I don't feel like me being born the color I am makes me any less of a person.
Eminem
A 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.'

When 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.
Eminem
Trust is hard to come by. That's why my circle is small and tight. I'm kind of funny about making new friends.
Eminem
I don't even know how to speak up for myself, because I don't really have a father who would give me the confidence or advice.
Eminem
I have a slight bit of OCD, I think. I'm not walking around flipping light switches. But when I say I'm going to do something, I have to do it.
