“You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, mu...” — Eminem Quote

You know, fame is a funny thing, man, especially, you know, actors, musicians, rappers, rock singers, it's kind of a lifestyle and it's easy to get caught up in it - you go to bars, you go to clubs, everyone's doing a certain thing... It's tough.

I'd go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked.

I've been running a lot, taking care of myself.

I need drama in my life to keep making music.

If you're the parent, be a parent. You know what I mean? I'm a parent. I have daughters.

One thing the blues ain't, is funny.

You know, you can touch a stick of dynamite, but if you touch a venomous snake it'll turn around and bite you and kill you so fast it's not even funny.

Somebody said something funny to me the other day. They said, 'Wolper, until two weeks ago, your tombstone was going to say, 'David Wolper, the man who produced 'Roots.' I think the tombstone now has a new inscription. It's going to be 'David Wolper, the man who produced the opening ceremony of the 1984 Olympics.'

I walked in thinking, 'I have ten movies under my belt and now they want me to go back to making commercials?' I said, if I do that, I want it to be funny.
