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 hate the bad rap that people give my parents. Because they are just parents, really, at the end of the day trying to stand up for their daughter and themselves.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.
