Notes:
"Don't do drugs, don't have unprotected sex, don't be violent. Leave that to me."---Eminem quoted on Askmen.com"I randomly saw Eminem on MTV, and in the span of six or seven seconds, he goes from this icy, urban, scary glare to this fluid, self-effacing, kind of fun character. I had to meet him"---Brian Grazer on Eminem's demeanor"I wanted to make a movie because I felt my story was unique but at the same time not. If other roles [come up]? I don't know. I'll be to old to rap someday. Or when the music slows down. Then maybe. Yeah, I'll take another role."---Eminem on becoming a movie star, EWeekly, November 8, 2002."I'm not looking for a new woman. I'm cool being single-not to say I don't get down. But as far as a relationship or getting married again, I'm cool, man. I learned my lesson and I've seen what it is and what it can and can't be, and I feel like I've learned enough from my first mistake. Let that be the last one and keep moving forward. Relationships? No."---Eminem explaining his new philosophy on women and dating. Entertainment Weekly September 13, 2002."I'm paranoid as fuck about anything of mine sounding like a track I just did or like anything else out there. I practically live in the studio, aside from spending time with Hailie. I always feel that I can improve something until I just get sick of it."---Eminem on his fear of not being original"I've seen woman throwing themselves at you just because you're famous, and I hate that."---Eminem to Vanity Fair, December 2004."My insecurities? I'm dumb, I'm stupid, I'm white, I'm ugly, I smell...I have freckles...Um...I'm short, I'm white, I'm not very smart, I wanna kill myself...My nose is crooked. Um...my penis is small. I'm fucked."---Eminem on his insecurities, on MTV.com"The guy is funny, smart, and sometimes shocking. Those are all things I look for in rock and roll."---Stephen King on EminemAugust 2005, Eminem checked into a facility in his native Michigan for treatment for dependency on sleep medication.In June 2002, Eminem signed rapper 50 Cents to his Shady/Aftermath Record label.Rapper Raymond "Benzino" Scott and David Mays, founders of The Source hip-hop magazine held a press conference on November 18, 2003 at which they revealed a recorded clip of Eminem freestyling an offensive lyric in the early 1990s.
