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

'If people look deeper than the surface they'll discover a nice person. Only when I'm backed into a corner do i retaliate.'

'Marshall is a regular person, Eminem is a nice guy and Slim Shady is a fucking asshole, a complete dick. Which one do I want for a friend? Marshall. Which one do i most admire? Slim Shady. Who'd win a fight? Slim Shady. Who's the smartest? Eminem. Who's the loser? Marshall. Who's the winner? Slim Shady!'

'Slim Shady is juat another part of me, the dark, evil, creatively sick part.'

'Truthfully, anything that has to do with colour, its like, next question.'

'I was about nine when I started listening to rap. I started rapping, writting my own rhymes about 14 and just kept getting better.'

'Just know Slim Shady is hip-hop. I grew up on hip-hop, it's the music I love and it's the music I respect. I respect the culture...that's me!'

'I speak the truth, I've got no reason to fabricate my past, no reason to lie. There will be no reconciliation. I've tried, I'll say that. I can't comment further.'

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

'My father? I never knew him. Never even seen a picture of him. I heard he's trying to get in touch with me now. Fuck that motherfucker, man. Fuck him!'

'Not to defend Kim, but I realise what has happened to me has probably been a strain on her, too. It's a crazy thing to deal with. You've really got to be in shape.'

'I did this so that I could be a family to Kim and Hailie and raise my daughter the right way and not cut her out like my father did to me. My family is all I have ever fought for and all I have ever tried to protect. The only thing i am scared of is being taken away from my little girl.'

'Much as I hate doing the interviews and photo shoots and all the extra work that comes with the territory, that's what I am doing it for. So that my daughter's future is secure. So that when I die, if she never makes anything of herself - God forbid, I want her to do something, be a model, do music, be a doctor, anything - I'm gonna have that money there for her. I want her future to be set!'

'We're put here to make children. That's the reality of it. We're here to reproduce. And I reproduced. So now my life is for her.'

'I grew up listening to 2 Live crew and NWA and I never went out and shoot nobody.'

'I get alot of fan mail, some of it's normal, and some of it's crazy fan mail. I'm a crazy guy, not clinically insane, but crazy, so I attract a lot of weridos.'

'I sometimes regret mocking my fans and my family on my records. I just wanted to make fans, regular people, feel more in touch with me, like I was a real person.'

'It's deeper than me. Oh, I want shock value, I want to shock the world.'

'Yeah, I've pushed it. I can go further though, I can always go further.'

'I do say things I think will shock people. But I don't do things to shock people. There's absolutely nothing I wouldn't rap about. I'm a grown man and I speak my mind. I'm not trying to be the next Tupac, but I don't know how long I'm going to be on this planet. So, while I'm here, I might as well make the most of it.'

'My microphone is my psychiatrist, it listens to me talk. Once I've got it out, I'm not mad anymore.'
