People magazine has a great Q & A with Brad Paisley in the latest issue. He answers some reader mail about fishing, fatherhood, love, and Sunday mornings. You can read the full article here.
Q: Will you take your boys fishing?
A: I already have. We have a pond, and Huck wanted to try, so we got a pole and a worm. His very first cast, he got a two-pounder! I had to pull it in.
Q: Rank these: diaper duty, grocery shopping, or doing dishes…
A: Grocery shopping is first. Huck and I just went. [He stood up] in the cart like a Jaguar hood ornament. Diapers and Dishes are equally bad.
Q: If you could be any femail country star, who would you be and why?
A: Without a doubt, Taylor Swift. I’d get to do this all over again, except I’d be 19, extremely talented, and a brilliant songwriter. At her age, I was lucky to pass classes. My parents gave me an Exxon credit card, so I got all my groceries there. I ate a lot of Doritos and ramen.
Q: What do you enjoy doing most with your family?
A: I like Sundays best. We start by cooking bacon and pancakes. It’s not the healthiest, but we love it.
Q: You seem to be a real no-fuss, cowboy kind of guy. Have you ever done anything metrosexual?
A: I’ve never had a minicure. I don’t know if it’s good for guitarists. As for my brows, there’s always a point when a makeup artist cocks her head like a dog pussling a situation and is fixin’ to say, “Can I just do that area between your brows?” That’s fine. It gets pretty bad up there.
Q: What’s your best advice for a solid marriage like you and Kim have?
A: Humor is [key]. There will always be things a person does to make you want to scream. Making each other laugh creates a bond. People who don’t laugh don’t look happy to me.
