Taylor Says
"We don't have anything on right now; we're in the process of stripping."
"I don't resist the girls anymore. I jump back and scare them. That throws them!"
"The craziest thing I ever heard was the koalas were dangerous."
"If we ever have to do any old songs we'll just get some helium and you know..."
"I really can't wear pants that tight, I actually want to have children later in life"

"Who's hot?? (Audience replies 'You!') No I meant the weather!"
"One time I was messing with fire and I was trying to make the flames bigger, so I hit this log and this huge coal thing flew out onto the carpet! I was trying to get it off, but it burnt a huge hole!"
"I was sticking up for someone that was being bullied. My neighbor was being picked on by these guys once, and I felt bad, so I stepped in and hit this guy. It was a pretty basic punch and it hurt my hand more than it hurt him. I feel silly for saying this because it makes me sound like a big man, and I'm not."
"I'm pretty sure that's illegal. Yep, that was completely illegal,"
"I have no new piercings, but I have considered piercing something else."
Caller: What do you think of all the fans that throw their bras on stage?
Taylor: Maybe they're sexually deprived and they feel they have to expose their bre.. um you know bras to let me know that they.. um.. I don't know! I think it's odd!
Caller: What do you do with bras?
Taylor: What do we do with bras?
Caller: Do you keep them?
Taylor: What do.. haha.. What do you think we do with them?
Caller: You could hang them up on a wall!
Taylor: Put it this way. We have no use for them! Most of the time we have to throw bras away!
"Someone out there holds the key to my heart and until it is unlocked it shall remain half empty."
"I mean put it this way. You wouldn't just walk up to someone and lay one on them, so we wouldn't just be like 'Hi! Nice to meet you!' Tongue and all!"
"To me romance is a beautiful thing to be enjoyed,"
"There is something I forgot to tell you last night..."
"That's cool too... but it's about a girl with big boobs and that's what it's all about. That's why it's a popular game because guys want to you know." ~ Taylor on Tomb Raider
"We watch a lot of girls, you know (looks embarrassed) well you know. You know what I mean."
"Sometimes I just want someone to kiss me and hold me and tell me everything's going to be alright. But I haven't found that special person yet."

"Aah, how about you take a picture of your butt, buddy,"
"Guys if he tries that on, I'm committing in family homicide!"

"If you pinch me, I'll scream. If you pinch me again, I'll smack you!"
"If you're gonna say sexy, then you've gotta say it like 'SEXY!!'
It's kind of like getting a martini dumped on your head.. I mean, not like I'd know what that's like oh.. crap.... Okay, I'm gonna stop right now before I dig myself a deeper hold and I have to come crawling back to civilization on my knees... stop... okay.." ~ Taylor about using hair gel when he goes to formal functions.
" I might be a rock n' roller, but you wouldn't catch me peeing in public!" (oh yeah? Then how come you did? lol)
" We love climbing up walls and dropping water bombs on people!"
"No, we just take our garage everywhere we go. Ya know, just send it on a plane."
" If there was a bully beating up a cute girl, I'm a fighter."

" We wrote a lullaby for our little brother. It woke him up."

"If I had a monkey IÕd be too busy playing with it to write music."
" I'd try and play with my sisters. I'd take Zac's power rangers and their BarbieÕs and marry them. Then they'd tell me to stop playing with her 'cuz I'm upsetting her."
"Oh my god! It's alive! The computer's cussing at me!"

"If we go off, just the three of us somewhere, it's kind of not a good idea, but we do it anyway."

"Sorry, we're going to be sued by a few mothers. We didn't mean to chop your head off, I mean it was Zac."
"When I was little, I couldn't care less about girls, I would have thrown tomatoes at anyone. I used to love tomatoes and I would go 'round chanting " Tomato Head Tomato Head" at people. If I saw a large person I shout " Big Tomato Man"!"
" The worst thing we've done is, spitting on people from hotel balconies, I hit someone the other day-- that was cool."
" I was going to get a car for my birthday, but my dad took me out for a drive and let me take over.. he quickly decided that I would be getting a toy car instead of a real car. I'm not the world's greatest driver but I'll get there."
" If Ike hears me say this he's going to kill me! But he sleeps with a small brown teddy bear. It's so old, it has Zac beat by a few months!"
"We've thought about getting tattoos."

"We can sing a little bit of something"
"Our hair has nothing to do with the music."
"We just got motorcycles and we take them with us in our bags when we travel."
"That's just gonna go on the fly."
"The girls aren't screaming at you. They're screaming at the fact you're in a band and they hear you on the radio. It's not like you're special."
"People are really wild. They write these fantasies about how they met us, how they did this with us or that with us - these complete elaborations - like it really happened!" ~Taylor (on fan fiction)
"I am a guy but I am NOT going to pull my pants down to prove it!"
"You guys are so loud it's painful!!!"
"You have to like yourself before you can do anything!"
"Our parents are completely behind us and they always have been. They've always said, "You can stop if you want to and we'll be totally behind you." I think their best advice is 'You have to love it."
"Music can't be about fame and money or any of that stuff. You really have to love it."
"Sometimes you wake up and go 'Hey, what day is it?'"
"The coolest thing about our fans is that they're devoted...but psycho."
"Sometimes it feels like the girls aren't screaming at us; they're screaming at some band called Hanson they saw on TV."
"I wouldn't say we opened the door of pop music again. I'd say music opened it and we were allowed to get in."
"We were coming out of a radio station, and there were about 2,000 people outside this station, and this 40-year-old woman jumps and grabs at my hair! I'm going, 'Have some control, woman!'"
"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."
"It is the message. Not the messenger. "
"I always want to tell people off who don't do their job right, but I never do. We're always saying we will shout at someone but we wimp out."
"Sometimes I go away and just write a poem or even a song. Lots of people think that we only deal with situations in our songs which we've experienced ourselves, but that's not true. The songs I write are about my dreams and wishes, too."
"Listen to the music and forget about how young we are...forget that we have long blond hair and blue eyes...it's just the music."
"I often go off into my own little world. At least that's what Isaac and Zac say. There is some truth in it, though. I like to think very carefully about everything. For this I need peace and quiet so that I can really 'catch up' with myself again. But even when I can't be alone it isn't difficult for me to switch off- that's when my brothers always say I'm in my little 'Taylor World' again."
"For us, it's not about sex and drugs, it's about rock and roll."
"We're different people, we've grown, we've changed."

"We want to do [music] for as long as we can. 'Til we can't do it anymore. 'Til my hands can't physically do it. No matter what, even if everything crashes and burns, at least we enjoyed ourselves and had a passion for our work."
"Avery is one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen, and trust me, I've seen a lot of beautiful girls."
"In a perfect world it would just be about the music, instead of the music business. I feel like business can get in the way."
"You can't just say, 'OK, now we're gonna be more rock. Put on your leather! Isaac, get your nose pierced. Taylor, dye your hair green. And, Zac, you're already there, just stop bathing."
"Most boy bands are criticized for being fake, but they're not hated. I think we're hated because some people are afraid we might be real."
