Guns are bad, I tell you.

Touring is hard on the body.

A lot of truth is said in jest.

Fame hit me like a ton of bricks.

I'm very much a creature of habit.

My only scheme was to be a rapper.

I was a smart kid, but I hated school.

I don't think I've ever read poetry, ever.

Honestly, I never really put the mic down.

I need drama in my life to keep making music.

I need to keep working on myself for a while.

I didn't just invent saying offensive things.

Had a dream, I was King, I woke up, still King

I've been running a lot, taking care of myself.

Love is just a word, but you bring it definition.

It's just hard to meet new people, in my position.

Lose yourself in the music, the moment - you own it.

I love the attention but I don't like too much of it.

I don't hate women - they just sometimes make me mad.

Well, I'm working all the time to stay out of trouble!

These times are so hard, and they're getting even harder.

Anything I've ever said, I certainly was feeling at the time.

My father? I never knew him. Never even seen a picture of him.

I feel like a spoilt rapper. I get to pick and choose everything.

I might talk about killing people, but that doesn't mean I do it.

I come from Detroit where it's rough and I'm not a smooth talker.

My overall look on things is a lot more mature than it used to be.

I'm stupid, I'm ugly, I'm dumb, I smell. Did I mention I'm stupid?

Sometimes I feel like rap music is almost the key to stopping racism.

I am whatever you say I am; if I wasn't, then why would you say I am.

Nothing on 'Relapse' and very little on 'Recovery' was produced by me.

I realized, 'Yo, I can't do anything in moderation. I don't know how.'

Somewhere deep down there's a decent man in me, he just can't be found.

When 'Paul's Boutique' came out, I was one of the fans that didn't get it.

The emotions in a song - the anger, aggression - have got to be legitimate.

I always felt that if I was going to do a movie, I wanted it to be authentic.

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

I am who I am and I say what I think. I'm not putting a face on for the record.

I was poor white trash, no glitter, no glamour, but I'm not ashamed of anything.

My thing is this; if I'm sick enough to think it, then I'm sick enough to say it.

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.

I try to treat all the money I'm making like it's the last time I'm going to make it.

If you're the parent, be a parent. You know what I mean? I'm a parent. I have daughters.

I always wished for this, but it's almost turning into more of a nightmare than a dream.

Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end.

I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit.

Now that I understand that I'm an addict, I definitely have compassion for my mother. I get it.

I'd go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked.

Before I was famous, when I was just working in Gilbert's Lodge, everything was moving in slow motion.

It creeps me out sometimes to think of the person I was. I was a terrible person. I was mean to people.
