It’s been a trying year for Britney Spears, but she’s determined to turn it around. Helping her in her effort to finish the year much better than she started it is her new album, Circus, being released on December 2.

In the new December 2008 issue of Rolling Stone magazine, Brit opens up about her life currently, getting personal on her new album, and her young sons, Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2.

On what life is like now:

“I feel like an old person now. I do! I go to bed at, like, 9:30 every night, and I don’t go out or anything, you know what I mean? I just feel like an old fart.”

On opening up in her new music:

“It’s scary to put yourself out there and be like, ‘Oh, God, is that cool?’ If you’re not going to really go for it, you can’t just go there halfway.” And then, as though changing her mind midthought, she adds, “But sometimes, when you go for it, you can’t lose.”

On Sean and Jayden:

“Like, they’re going to preschool now! I went there to pick them up on Friday, and seeing them in their little classroom and seeing Jayden being bad or not listening? It’s like, those are mine, and it’s just crazy, you know what I mean? And the things that are coming out of their mouths right now — they’re learning so much, and it’s new, and you never know what they’re going to say, and they’re so smart yet so innocent. They’re obsessed with monsters, and every night we look outside, and we have to show them that there’s no monsters out there. It’s dark outside, but there’s nothin’ out there, you know?”

“It’s weird ’cause they’re starting to learn words like ’stupid,’ and Preston says the f-word now sometimes. He doesn’t get it from us. He must get it from his daddy. I say it, but not around my kids.”
