"The truth is you don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed."
Eminem
Happy Father’s Day, by the way. As a divorced father of three daughters, are you a good dad?
“Yes. My kids — I love them so much, and they’ve helped me through so many things.”
Quoted Eminem
How do you stay sober?
“My kids, and also I see a rehab counselor once a week. I’ve been clean for two years.”
Quoted Eminem
You’ve been accused of writing gay-bashing lyrics in the past. Would you like to see gay marriage approved in Michigan, where you live?
“I think if two people love each other, then what the hell? I think that everyone should have the chance to be equally miserable, if they want.”
Quoted Eminem
Made my day.
Even your mother sued you for defamation. Is she still in Detroit, where she raised you as a single mom?
“I’m not sure, to be honest. It’d be very hard to repair that relationship”
Quoted Eminem
Do you regret having written so many songs that refer to women as “bitches” and “hos” who exist solely for your pleasure?
“Anything I’ve ever said, I certainly was feeling at the time. But I think I’ve calmed down a bit. My overall look on things is a lot more mature than it used to be.”
Quoted Eminem
I do not address you as Eminem when I’m alone. I do not address you as Slim Shady, when I am alone.
I address you as Marshall. Marshall Mathers III, because I love who you are, not who they see you as.
Does Slim Shady, your raping and killing alter ego, still exist? Or have you split with him?
“Shady still exists. But I don’t think the subjects on this record call for, you know, bring the chainsaws and axes out and murder everyone on this record. There was so much stuff like that off the last record that I felt like I was starting to run it into the ground. I think consciously I went in a different direction with this record.”
Quoted Eminem
