Marc Anthony: 'Kids inspire my music'

Marc Anthony has said that fatherhood has influenced his career decisions.

The singer, who is married to Jennifer Lopez, told US Weekly that he considers his children in everything he does because he wants to set a good example.

"That's always a factor in everything you do - working responsibly and living responsibly," he explained.

"You think about where this album will be in 20 years from now and whether they are gong to be proud of it. The babies are obviously with me every step of the way. There were a couple of songs that [daughter] Emme picked. Just by her [saying] 'again, again'."

He added that Emme is already showing her creative potential.

"She is extremely musical, she wrote a couple of songs already.

"Everything is 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star', and she starts saying names of people that she misses, like her big brothers. It's her way of expressing herself. She is 2 and she just wants to sing their names over and over again. And then she was missing uncle Benny, and then she was singing 'Benny'."
