"Tay, you need to blow your nose."
"Tay has a really bad diet."
"Why, why couldn't I have been the one?"
"I'm definetely very goofy."
"I could go to juvie instead of real prison."
"As you can see, Zac gets a little carried away."
"We don't want to be the next Partridge Family."
"Just like styles change, music changes."
"We're interested in doing movies."
"We know that the kind of success we're having may not last forever. Success can go as fast as it comes, and we all realize that. Anyone who doesn't realize that is in trouble because they can lose touch with reality."
"A tennis racket makes a great fake guitar!"
"You could say singing is in our genes. Both our parents sang and made up songs constantly."
"I used to be the goofiest, and then Zac just kind of took over."
"Even though being a kid is kind of a carefree sort of thing for the most part, I guess there are definitely a lot of things that stick in kids' minds."
"We're not a young band, we're just a band who happens to be young."
"We've met a lot of really good friends who were fans to begin with and you can tell when fans are so obsessed with you that they wouldn't be able to concentrate on getting to know you. It's not hard to figure that out."
"Zac orders us around more than we do - he's behind the drums and everything and he can control us . . . what we do."
"It's an incredible oppurtunity, but at the same time you start to miss home."
"Hanson is three brothers, and we love making music."
"It wasn't quite MMMMMMbop, and it wasn't quite Mmbop, it was Mmmbop....just looked good, three Ms and a bop."
"Some people make fun of Hanson. But you know what? I don't give a rip."
"It's just so cool that all these people are dancing and clapping to your music."
"A lot of our songs are really just created. You know, imagination."
"We were always doing what we loved to do. We weren't worrying about what other bands were doing. We do what we do. And they do what they do. That's the way of the world."
"It's a ton of fun to perform."
"We just want to keep doing our music whether we sell one record or one million."
"Thou shalt have a frog in thy bathroom."
"The funny thing is, all this can go as fast as it came. We're just having fun with it."
"I'm a romantic fool - I always end up getting hurt."
"We thought it would be cool if Zac drove up a ramp to his drums and parked behind them."
"They didn't actually spew on stage. They just looked very green for the whole set." (On Zac and Tay being sick at one of their performances)
Ike, who cares about your hair?!"
"It was cool because we got to write with some incredible people, but it was very weird because we've always done it by ourselves."
"If I saw a band like us the first thing I would say was, 'FAKE! They're put together, they don't write their own songs!'"
"We still share a small bedroom, we're not spoiled, and we don't have loads of money."
"Beck is awesome!"
"No one can unplug me! Ha ha ha!"
"Wanted - dead or alive!"
"Zac, you'd make a cute girl."
"Bands don't lose their hearing because of the music but because of the audience."
"'What do you reckon.' Is that an English thing to say?"
"Take a look at Marilyn Manson for a second."
"They almost ripped my body half apart!"
"It's really weird getting phone calls and people going 'I love you, I love you.'"
"We could wear wigs and latex noses!"
"If we go off, just the three of us somewhere, it's kind of not a good idea but we do it anyway."
"Zac, you're retarded"
"People ask us if there's girls we write about and there's actually not. We just dream about them!" "Sorry, we're gonna be sued by a few mothers. We didn't mean to chop your head off, I mean it was Zac." Once he [Ike] turns 18, he can be convicted."
"Beep! Wrong answer! Do not pass go, do not collect $200!"
"Zac was sitting with his genius mind, um, mum, mum, mum, mum."
"If we got a monkey, I'd be too busy playing with it to write a song about it!"
"Yeah, Zac was dropped on his head as a baby..."
"I think a lot of times we're inspired [to write a song] by whatever happens - talking to friends, doing whatever. You get inspired and you write a song!"
"Kids don't hate their parents as much as they did two years ago."
"I tap on tables all the time, I can't stop. I like to drum all the time. My brothers keep saying 'Tay, shut up', But I can't."
"We want to say right now that we're not going to put out Hanson dolls..."
"It's not very often you're on a rocking boat singing to a packed room of girls, after all. It was pretty wild."
"The video was all of our ideas, twisted together." "We would plug our ears and even then the shrieks would cut through."
"Think about how many times you say 'weird'"
"Although we love what's on the radio now, that's not the stuff that inspired us."
"This is not aobut fame and fortune or anything like that for us. We are doing this because we love to make music."
"We like to focus on the positive things."
"Italy is really cool, for the girls and for the food."
"Put it this way. We got the drums and the instruments and a week later we played live. But that doesn't mean we were good when we played, it just means we got out there and did it."
"Sometimes it feels like the girls aren't screaming at us, they're screaming at some band called Hanson they saw on TV"
"We're not doing this because we want girls to scream at us . . . but they can scream if they want!"
"If there's a girl who's a fan and she's a bit crazy, you are not going to go out with her."
"I know Isaac kissed a girl while they were watching 101 Dalmations and she ran home crying to her mom. I find out everything!"
"Zac is the funny one, the crazy one, the insane one. He's very cool onstage. He's also got some sad, deep songs where you go, 'How old is he?'"
"It's not like we're these child geniuses who woke up one morning suddenly able to write good songs."
We get along pretty well. We're not like Oasis. We don't fight all the time."
"Isaac's the hopeless romantic of the group, I'm the professional and Zac's just mad."
"I think we're normal. I mean, what guy doesn't like girls?"
"You go to a foreign country and hear'blah,blah,blah Hanson,blah,blah. It's weird!"
"It's really amazing to think, yesterday I was in Indonesia; today I'm in Canada...we' ve been all over Asia all over Europe. A lot of people never get to do that."
"They also say were immigrants from Sweden, and that I used to have a girlfriend named Ashley who cheated on me, so I broke up with her. What's so funny is I do have a friend named Ashley, but he's a guy!"
"Don't belive everthing you [see on the Internet]. I don't have a girlfriend yet. But if you live life, you meet girls. That's pretty basic."
"People think of us as stars and we don't think we're stars at all, not even for a second!"
"Along the line of creation, everything evolves."
"Part of what Hanson is, is that there's not just one guy who sings. Having three voices is what makes us Hanson."
"You're always being bashed for being the new thing." "We wrote a lullaby for our little brother. It woke him up."
"No, I'm not a girl, and no, I will not pull down my pants to prove it."
"There's a weird fact that if you dropped a penny off of the Empire State Building in New York City, you'd kill someone. I feel really bad, 'cause I dropped a nickle off it once."
"Girls can scream at us if they want. We could get used to it. Hey, we could even learn to love it."
"When we first started out, Zac had some old drums that wouldn't stay still, and they would roll around stage. That was pretty funny!"
"If music is what you do, and you love it, why would you be sad?"
"Zac's the drummer, so he'll go, "I'm the drummer, I'll do whatever I want," so he'll speed us up, slow us down, whatever he wants to do."
"There was always singing going around and music in our house. We just naturally started writing songs."
"All these screaming girls and guys going crazy, you just have to have fun with it."
"Zac just likes the fat statue."
"I used to love tomatoes and I'd go around chanting 'Tomatoe Head, Tomatoe Head!' at people. If I saw a large person i'd shout, 'Big Tomatoe Man!'"
"Fame? We get both sides- the 'Oh I hate you guys, you stink' side, and the 'You guys are so awesome'. The positive outweighs the negative by far."
"We're gonna get really drunk... on Dr. Pepper."
"We'll read about Notre Dame, and then go to Paris to see it."
"Everything changes."
"Water is good."
"That's very cool that she knows that. She must be on the internet."
"It's a little more 'Strange' than 'Weird'. We just liked the sound of 'Weird' better."
"Zac, I think that's your vibrating underwear."
"I think it's simply great how you can give free-reign to your imagination when you draw. You can turn your dreams into shapes and colors, and that's what I find interesting about drawing."
"I think sometimes getting too much sleep is worse than not getting enough. You feel really weird when you've slept til noon."
"I think they (the fans) really want to know that you're a normal person. They just want to have a chat. I'm the same. When I meet a band I like, I just wanna talk a little and hope to find out that they're not stuck up. It makes you feel good to see that the people you like are normal people."
He's [Isaac] always talking about girls."
"Well see... first.. you buy a ticket...and then...you get a seat."
"Having fans wait hours and hours to see you, that is pretty awsome to think people would wanna see you that much."
"Stop the mushy stuff!"
"Why are you buying us flowers?"
"The color... yeah, I like the color contrast."
"Did you tell us this, or did you plan it on your own?"
"You have big eyebrows!"
"Jellybeans, mmm!"
"Hey! Don't play those tapes 'cause they'll blow up!" "Can we crowd surf?"
"We're regular kids!"
"If you got a monkey that day, you'd write a song about a monkey."
"Usually when Tay has his moments, it's late at night and everyone is tired."
"Actually I'd like to be a cartoonist if this doesn't work out."
"I want to stay in Oklahoma because it's kind of a cool place to go back to."
"I like to bang on things."
"We've always been close."
"I was six when we started and even then I knew that I wanted to sing. We were all serious about it even then."
"I've really enjoyed going to the different places around the world. I got to go to the top of the Eiffle Tower in Paris.. that was very exciting. And I really liked the food in Italy."
"There's this guy, his name is Zac and he's in a band..."
"It's been fun, people have treated us so well."
"You can't expect success, you can only hope for it."
"There's really no big secret as to why I play the drums. Nobody else's arms are as long. I couldn't play the piano so I went to the drums."
"I don't usually have dreams. I'm too busy sleeping to dream."
"We're best friends, only bester!"
"I think I'm probably just so shy that I actually just act wacky to make up."
"Hey, if we moved to Alaska it would be light all day for half the year and we'd never have to go to bed!"
"We met the Spice Girls and we really liked them. Geri's quite small without her platform shoes on. I'll probably out-grow her in a few months time!"
"I'm scared I might be tempted to get a nose job!"
"I don't tend to get girls as fans. I just get all the young guys and weirdos."
"We're the long haired guys that look like girls."
"They need to invent portable washing machines...I miss clean clothes."
"I think it's totally awesome that people want to talk to us. I just think it's so cool that people like us. Really."
"Actually, I had to beat the crap out of Ike the other day."
"It starts out with being sane in the first place." "I bit my finger and it came off!"
"I've never kissed a girl, but I often think about it."
"I draw cartoons all the time. When I get upset, I scribble too fast."
"We play baseball....and instead of using a bat, I use my head."
"Ike is a girl charmer. He'll always say nice things to girls. It's just something he does."
"I'm not that great a drummer, but everyone says I can play, so I'll take their word for it." "Our parent's didn't push us into this. This was our thing."
"Just think of us as old guys with high voices."
"I wanna buy everyone in the world a puppy!"
"Hair is only big, if you've got big hair."
"Yep, that's what I said!"
"Music is always changing and you have to change with it...or else you're...stupid."
"I always have to be wacky. When I act serious, it's like, 'Why aren't you wacky? Is this a bad day for you?'"
"It's like, if you can't get something to work he'll be like, 'All you have to do is press start!'" (On Isaac)
"I would have my brain split in half and I would talk to myself!"
