Eminem: I don't cuss in real life

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- U.S. rapper Eminem, who frequently uses harsh language in his music, says he doesn't curse in his private life.

"Profanity around my house? No," the hip-hop star tells Anderson Cooper in a rare interview to air on TV's "60 Minutes." "I'm not saying there's not glimpses of me in the music, (that) there's not truth in … things that I say. But this is music, this is my art ..."

At home, Eminem said, he is focused on being a good father.

"I'm a parent. I have daughters. I mean, how would I really sound, as a person … walking around my house (saying,) 'Bitch, pick this up,' you know what I mean? ... I don't cuss."

Asked if he feels a sense of responsibility when his young fans use the language they hear in his songs, the rapper responded: "I feel like it's your job to parent them. If you're the parent, be a parent."

Cooper's full interview is to air Sunday.
