Eminem

I was a smart kid, but I hated school.

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

There was a while when I was feeling like, 'Damn, if I'd just been born black, I would not have to go through all this'.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

I'm really anti-option, so computers have been my nightmare with recording. I don't want endless tracks; I want less tracks. I want decisions to be made.
