I grew up cursing a lot. It felt natural. My parents told me to stop.

I grew up cursing a lot.

I don't want kids listening to my music thinking it's for their parents. I want them to feel it's theirs.

Our children are angry. The profanity is out in the street. It's on the buses and in the subway. Our children are trying to tell us something, and we are not listening.

If you want your kids to listen to you, don't yell at them. Whisper. Make them lean in. My kids taught me that. And I do it with adults now.

I really love cursing a lot. But as I get older, I realize it's a little unseemly for women of a certain age.

It's important that when kids are listening to my music they don't think of it as their parent's music.

I'm not a guy who curses very much in my personal life. When I curse it sounds like a kid trying to be cool. But I think there are quite a few people, my father being one of them, who use curse words rather eloquently.

I curse too much. I really do. I have a horrible cursing mouth.

It's kind of scary sometimes, I've seen this a lot in Asia. Children are given music lessons, very intensively I might add and involving great technical expertise sometimes, but you can tell that they have been told only to play happy pleasant music.
