Eminem says that appearing in court on gun and assault charges "woke me up" and made him determind to control his own destiny.
The rapper also tells Vanity Fair magazine that despite his fame and fortune he doesn't ever intend to leave his hometown of Detroit.
He said: "Nothing woke me up more than standing in front of a judge, and my life is in his hands."
Eminem appeared before two separate courts in his hometown in 2001 on charges of gun possession and assault arising out of two incidents in the town in 2000. He was given suspended sentences in each case and also ordered to perform community service.
The 32-year-old rapper, real name Marshall Mathers, who starred in the semi-autobiographical movie 8 Mile set in his hometown says he never leave Detroit. "This is all I've ever known, all I ever want to know.
"I've seen the world, I've explored the world, I've travelled it, I've played in places, it's great to visit, this is where I want to live. I don't want to go to L.A. and get caught up in the party scene.
"All I ever wanted to do was to make enough money from music to be able to support myself and make a living, and have a future for my daughter. That was my plan from the beginning. It, getting this big, I never planned it."
Eminem releases his new album, Encore, on November 15.
