"Girls are very inspirational. They were made that way!"~Taylor
Zac: I think the female species in general is pretty hard to figure out. Guys are like "Give me some food" and have, like, one active brain cell. But girls have these things called feelings. (They crack up) Guys just have bowel movements. (Everyone totally cracks up)hehehe
What's the confusing thing about girls? Zac: Everything. It seems to be a law of nature that girls always confuse boys. Taylor:]Girls always have those ups and downs. Boys and girls are just like dogs and cats. If two dogs meet, they stop, sniff each other and walk on by. Thats the way boys are, a little bigger and dumber. Girls are like cats to each other. they look at each other, spit, sneak around each other, spit, scream, scratch. And they're way too much engagaed in themselves. Zac: And their memory! They really remember EVERYTHING!

Ike- "We've matured a little bit musically. We've gotten better at our craft. Better at songwriting."

Ike- "I don't like limos, personally. They're way too self-indulgent."

Ike- "We've had whole tour busses in front of our house. We've had 30 people on our front lawn - one of them with a guitar singing songs."

Ike- "I just wanted to. I thought about cutting it when we did the first record." [about his hair/haircut]

Tay- "It's about feelings. About being happy and being depressed. But it's also about just rocking out." [about the new album]

Tay- "It depends on the song... music drives the lyrics."

Tay- "I think that touring helped to strengthen our playing and our musicianship and everything."

Tay- "We're also rock climbers. We went to this place called Suicide Rock and learned to climb. It was 165 feet high and when we got to the top we were just screaming with happiness. It was mad."

Zac -"Well we're all different. But mainly Ike has the most zits, Tay has a little bit less, and I have none."

Zac- "What we like to do is give sneak peaks."

Zac- "It's not 'Oh, God, they're going to start tearing at me!' It's 'Oh, God, I'm losing my arm!'"

Zac- "It's cool when you walk up and you're like, 'Hi, what do you mean you already know I'm Zac from Hanson?'"

"Well, there was this thing... and I was talking about this guy, and he said 'I Hate You!'. And I said, 'Well forkin' icehole to you, too!!" – Zac
"The female species in general is hard to figure out. Guys are like 'Give me some food!' and have like, one active brain cell. But girls have these things called 'feelings'." – Zac
Ike: (In a calm, cheesy voice)
"It is time for you to wake up. You will be feeling the vibe right now. You will be slowly rising from your extreme slumber, therefore exercising the sleep demons and therefore coming out of your sleepy state. Then you will be feeling a great rejuvenation for you have rejuvenated your body. And here we go, ladies and gentlemen. It's time for you to W A K E U P ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !"

"Little time alone with the menu.. Me and the menu gotta get to know each other a little better"~Tay
"Free ballin'" dont ask if you dont know
"Hey, how's it going? Your teeth look really nice." ~Isaac
"Zac just do us a favor, just touch your belly button for us. Just touch it."~Gina "No. I dont wanna complete your sick weird fantasies!" ~ Zac
"Did she just say boyfriends?"~ Isaac
"Zac has anyone ever asked to see your belly button before, and if not can I be the first?"~ME "Uhm no. No ones ever asked that"~Zac "well actually 1 person did, but the problem is theyre no longer with us. We opened up a can of.. nevermind.." ~Tay

"Hanson are the real thing, It'll be interesting to see if the youth of America want music that speaks to them and not for them, or if they want candy-coated horse shit". ~Bob Weir

Q: Who would most likely be the one with the shortest attention span?
T: Shortest attention span…umm…all of us. No, just kidding. Umm Zac.
Z: I'll nominate myself.

Q: Who would most likely walk around wearing a Hanson shirt?
Z: That would be me too! :)
T: No…none of us. Definitely none of us!
I: None of us, no…I…
T: Wearing your own shirt is kind of weird.
I: No, actually I did do that once. I did do that once. I'm ashamed to admit it.
Z: I've worn Hanson hats around, though.
I: No, it was fanclub hats, it was MOE hats.
(To Ike) Did you wear it on stage?
T: No, we just…
I: Well actually I did.
T: WHEN?!
I: Remember in uh…remember in um…in North Carolina.
T: Oh, okay you're right.
I: It was an indiscreet Hanson shirt. It was just kinda funny, it was totally random and weird
T: We'll beat him later for that!

(On how to play a CD without a CD player)
Zac: "What you do is, you, you rip off the needle off of your record player, then you attach it to your ear, then you spin the record right by your head. Hoorrrrrrrh REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!"
Tay: "I'll hafta say that Zac's breath isn't very pleasant this morning!"
All: "Oooohhh! Ouch! Hehehe!"

LA: "OK I know about the weather, you gave us the weather report, Tell us about the crazy stuff that goes on inside the bus!"
Ike: "OK, there's tornadoes, hurricanes…"
Zac: "We obviously have nothing to do. We play, um, balloon bowling. We have water balloons on our bus and you try to hit street signs as we're driving down the highway. We're like 'OK… GO!" Forty-five…wheehh----POOFH! Awwww yes!!!!"
Taylor: "That is one of the things we do, but we probably shouldn't be talking about that on the radio."

(Talking about what places they've traveled to)
Ike: "Um, Europe, Asia, South America. Well, let's see. Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Korea, Taiwan…uh, Japan,
Indonesia, Australia, England, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden…"
Hammerhead: "OK I'm tired!"
Zac: "Hold on everybody! You can take a 5 minute nap, because Ike won't be done for a LONG time!"
Dave: "It's as long as the email from Amanda about the 95 reasons!"
All: "Yes!"
Ike: "Actually, yeah it is!"
Tay: "Four pages long!"

TAY: "You're terribly vulnerable when you are in love. You sooooooo want your love to be returned. That's what "If Only" is about."

"A little more alone time with the menu? Me and the menu gotta get to know each a little better!"

IKE: "We party sober, without hookers!" LOL!!!

ZAC: "Taylor! When are you gonna do your solo album?!"
"When we get older, can we still play with legos!?"

Conversation between IKE and TAY about OLDER WOMEN...
TAY: Yeah, well me and that mom came back last night
IKE: That's soo gross! Dude, what was she, like 30?!
TAY: She was like 40!!

Cosmo Girl: Did you write it ["If Only"] about a particular girl?
TH: Considering there are three of us...
ZH: ...that would be one girl and a lotta love goin' on!

Taylor: Actually, I love the Discovery Channel. It's awesome.
Zac: There's a crocodile hunter and he's insane. [In accent] '...I have here a snake in the wild...four inches to my face...I will surely die...' Isaac: "That's why I'm going to poke it with this short stick!"

"This time around, we're going to catch a nip in the bud."
"Did you just say 'catch a nip in the bud', Isaac?"
"Why yes, Tay. I did."
"You're queer."
"Your mom."
"Queer, we have the same mom."
"Oh yeah..."

Ike- "Well, no. We got really into surfing. We've had a few lessons but at the moment, we spend more time in the water than riding a wave... We are all as bad as each other. We like to think we look quite cool but I'm not too sure we do."
Tay- "There's a lot of bad stuff in everything, no matter what you do."
Jonny Lang - "I hate saying I'm impressed, because that makes me sound like I know what I'm talking about, but those guys were really impressive. They're really pros in the studio. Their musicianship is as good as you can be." [talking about Hanson]
Taylor: It sounds like a bowel movement.
Taylor: We've never been in a tornado, actually.
Taylor: As we're getting older, we've been having problems with these gray hairs back here.
Isaac: If I could take an animal to the moon, it would be a girl, because girls are animals.
Isaac: We don't have any friends! Oh my God!!
Isaac: Tay has a good sense of humor. Well... he laughs at our jokes.
Isaac: Sometimes Zac's very quiet. I know, I faint as well when he is.
Zac: There's 28 hours in MY day!
Zac: My own recipie is to dip an oreo in hot sauce! Or chips in yogurt! Mmm...
Zac: I believe that laughter is the best medicine. A good laugh gets your adrenaline pumping and you feel so much better, even if you're in a serious situation.
Zac: I wanna live in a coffin! Oh man, I changed my mind!

Ike- "We've always been very hands-on about everything. I think it just turned out that you're a little more hands-on, because you have more experience. You have a real specific direction that you're wanting to go, and you really know what you want."
Ike- "Okay, my hair is gone, that's right. But what I find a lot more important is that I've finally lost those awful braces! Of course it was useful, but I honestly have to say I was always quite embarassed about it when I had to smile for photoshoots. Now I like to laugh, and a lot!"
Ike- "Everyone thinks we were just on holiday, but we weren't - we've been really busy in LA! We're total workaholics."
Tay- "I look like Arnold Swarzenegger. I have had a plastic surgery and I am just all muscle. I 'm 6'4" - I'm huge. That was a joke, by the way. Actually, me and Ike have cut our hair, but Zac's kept his long. You need long hair when you're a drummer so you can rock out at the back and hide under your hair."
Tay- "(sounding worried) Um... not sure really. It can get scary when people just freak out when you do nothing - just walk past them."
Tay- "No one special, and to be honest, even if we did, I don't think it's something we'd like to talk about. It's kinda private... but there is nothing really to talk about. I swear." [girlfriend issue]
Zac- "My voice has changed. I sound deeper now and i can't do all the high notes on the album."
Zac- "Some demo tapes of ours were stolen from our studio by a mystery thief. Then he sold them so a few people have already heard the album. It's really annoying that they were taken, but the people who've heard our new stuff say they really like it!"
Zac- "Yeah, dude! Nah, we just like getting out there and doing crazy things." [when asked if Hanson are adrenaline junkies]
Tay- "He's a better musician than all of us. He puts us to shame." [about Jonny]
Tay- "We are way too young to have experienced these things. But of course we have fallen for a girl and things didn't work out. That's normal, right? But you don't need to have had a heartache to be able to write about it." ["these things" are a lover being cheated on, and other songs' story lines]
Tay- "When I'm composing a new song, I just sit down at the piano and start tinkling away. Eventually, a tune comes along which I can do something with. Isaac is different. When he sits down at the piano, the tune is already half-finished in his head. But I don't even know whether the song I'm going to compose is in slow or quick time."
"I'm not a fan of Barney..but I think that Elmo chick is pretty cute!" Ike

"Sometimes taylor can be sneakey."
"There was this one time... well, really... one time.. heh heh heh, I'm retarded!"
"Look at my bulging pecs... they're so... shrimpy!"
"I think I'd make a good boyfriend."
"I would have to disagree with Taylor because...... I think Taylor's retarded!"
"Hope you guys like congas" tay
"Girl Power is cool... for girls I mean." Zac
"No, none of us has a girlfriend. And that's the truth, honest! But that doesn't mean you don't meet people and go on dates. But no one has a steady girlfriend. As for my last date - I'll keep that to myself." ike
"And if you kill anyone, I'll SUE YOU!" zac
"Whenever we see cows we sing 'Cows! Cows! Everywhere! Cows are all around me!' it's a private joke!" -Zac
"Girls, I love girls, they're so cute and they write me all these letters saying they love me...!" -Zac
"Seeing as though you're already Ugly Phil, it wont matter if I, you know, beat the crap out of you!" -Zac
"Puff Daddy. He's cool. He doesn't say much but he's real nice and he nods a lot. When I first saw him I just said 'Yo!' and he said 'Yo Zac!'." -Zac
"Some people make fun of Hanson. But you know what? I don't give a rip." ~Ike
"Make your life like toilet paper, long & useful." ~Zac
"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." ~Tay< "I would say thanks, but you would probably just scream again!" ike
"I might be a wild Rockin'N'Roller but you won't catch me peeing in public"~Tay
"I don't think jumping out a window would be too good an idea,but skydiving from a plane...wow what a rush!"~Tay

What does riding around in a posh limo really feel like?
Taylor: Erm,it's fun
Zac: The problem with limos is...
Isaac: ...they attract attention. People think, 'Oooh, who's in there?'
Taylor:Some of them have seats facing backwards,which makes you feel a biut queasy.Zac nearly threw up during one limo ride.
Isaac: He did throw up, didn't he?
Zac: "No, only almost.I held it in.
Isaac: Wasn't it cause the roads were really curvy that day?
Zac: No guys that's just me.I even get sick in normal cars.
"You have to know what you want to keep it going"~Tay

"Someone's sat on my bagel"~Zac
"It wasn't quite MMMMMMMbop, It wasn't quite MMbop. It was MMMbop...Three M's and a Bop" ~Ike
"I bit my finger and it came off"~ Zac

"When I was practicing my parallel parking for the test my dad was like, 'Watch the pole! Watch the pole!'"-Tay

Zac"I wanna be a worker at burger king!"
"Success smells like your armpit."
"Guys, go home. Don't you have school?"
"Gee, I don't know how girls wear so much make-up everyday. No wonder they all carry such big bags."
"Man from Milwaukee is our stupid funny song. We also have silly ones called Mr. Frog and Mushroom."
"We did a batman model [out of legos] which was pretty gruesome. We pushed a guy outta the control tower and he landed on the street and killed people. We used a lot of ketchup for that one!"
TAY
"We wrote a lullaby for our little brother. It woke him up."
"The girls aren't screaming at you. They're screaming at the fact you're a band and they hear you on the radio. It's not like you're special."
"There'a a weird fact that if you dropped a penny off the Empire State Building in New York you'd kill someone! I feel really bad 'cause I dropped a nickel off it once."
"Hardly any girls are into things like violent movies - girls just want to talk, they want romance. And thats still okay."
"I used to run around naked with cowboy pistols"
"Hey! Don't mock the fans!"
"Beep! Wrong answer! Do not pass go and do not collect $200"
"The coolest thing about our fans is that they're devoted...but psycho"
"We'd be the ugliest girls you've ever seen! If I was a girl, I'd feel really sorry for myself because I am ugly!"
"It's a weird phenomenon. A lot of the guys want to be friends and want to come over or something. The girls do the 'I love you' thing. It's weird"
"I like girls, but I haven't seen a girl that I can really go up to her without her going 'Oh my god! Oh my god!'"
"You know we just drop him (Zac) off random cliffs and see how he recovers"
"No one can unplug me! Ha ha ha!"
"I'd like to call a friend's hotline, I need a friend NOW!"

"I used to be able to say 'Great Dr. Pepper Taste' in a burp"
"Yes, my real name is Jordan. I just thought Taylor would bring out the colour of my eyes a little better."
"Don't spew on the audience! Bad move."
"I've often thought about how nice it would be to be in love. But I don't believe you can imagine what it's like if you haven't experienced it. Still, I think about it a lot, of course, and I try to imagine what it would be like. But no girl has made my heart beat really fast yet. I haven't even kissed a girl yet. Actually, I find the whole thing a bit embarrassing, though it's me who gets the most love letters. I read each letter very carefully."
"Zac, you would make a cute girl!"
"From the view of my perspective."
"My girlfriend would have to be tender, romantic and faithful like me."
"If the people we love are stolen away from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever."

"Female, thats good. Normal, not alien. Human, no neosapiens. No Harry Conicks" on what he looks for in a girl.
"Well we're all different but mainly Ike has the most zits, Tay has a little bit less, and I have none"
"It's not 'Oh, God, they're going to start tearing at me!' It's 'Oh, God, I'm losing my arm!' "
"But I am normal - sort of!"
"Hanson versus Silverchair, now thats a hard one. Well, there's three of us and we're more mobile than a silver chair, so maybe we can sit on the big chair sometimes"

"Brunettes are cool!"
"We've heard great stories, that we were immigrants from Sweden and Mmmbop used to be called Ooompahpah!"

Once I wound Zac up so much that he dragged me out of the lounge by my hair! -Tay
Jessica will see girls freaking out when they meet us, and she'll say,'girls are weird, why do they do that? -Ike
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 saying this cause it makes me sound like I'm a big man and I'm not. -Taylor
We went to see Titanic in a cinema in New York. Did I cry? No way! I don't cry at films like that! -Zac
