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 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.

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

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.
