Slim Shady is just the evil thoughts that come into my head. Things I shouldn't be thinking about. Not to be gimmicky, but people should be able to determine when I'm serious and when I'm f... around. That's why a lot of my songs are funny. I got a warped sense of humor I guess.

If I said in one of my songs that my English teacher wanted to have sex with me in junior high, all I'm saying, is that I'm not gay, you know? People confuse the lyrics for me speaking my mind. I don't agree with that lifestyle, but if that lifestyle is for you, then it's your business.

The emotions in a song - the anger, aggression - have got to be legitimate.

My songs can make you cry, take you by surprise at the same time, can make you dry your eyes with the same rhyme

If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.
