Eminem - Rolling Stone Interview (Excerpts)

As one of the most influential artists of our time, Eminem had the honor to grace the cover of the next issue of the Rolling Stone Magazine, which will be available on newsstands this Friday. Contributing editor Josh Eells met up with Eminem at his Detroit recording studio to talk about the rapper’s long battle with prescription drugs, his difficulties with women and the pain of being abandoned by his father at early age. In addition, Eminem delves into his musical comeback and much more. Read below an excerpt of the in-depht interview.

Do you think it’s hard for you to trust women?

I have trust issues. With women, friends, whatever. You always wonder what their real motives are. I’ve got a small circle of friends, and it’s a lot of the same friends I’ve known forever. Right now, that works for me. I came out of some difficult things these past couple of years. I kind of feel like I’m just now finding my footing. So I want to make sure that’s secure before I go out and do anything else. I need to keep working on myself for a while.

What about your love life? Do you date?

Not really. As far as going out, like dinner and a movie—I just can’t. Going out in public is just too crazy. I mean, I’d like to be in a relationship again someday. Who doesn’t? It’s just hard to meet new people, in my position.
