Eminem swears off expletives at home

The star, known for his profanity-laden lyrics, insists that when he is at home with his three daughters he minds his language - and is strict with theirs.

'Profanity around my house? No,' he insisted in a special on US TV's 60 Minutes.

'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.'

But he defends his lyrics, insisting: 'This is music, my art. This is what I do.'

He insists he should not be responsible for other children hearing his angry raps. 'I feel like it's your job to parent them. If you're the parent, be a parent,' he told interviewer Anderson Cooper.

Cooper pulled him up on specific lyrics where he attacked 'fags'. 'The scene that I came up in that words was thrown around so much. Faggot was thrown around constantly in battle,' he said. 'I don't have any problem with nobody. I'm just whatever.'
