What was your worst gig?

T: It was at a place called Coffeeville in Kansas. It's the kind of place where folks sit around and watch paint dry. The crowd wasn't responsive and didn't react at all. But afterwards, the promoter said: "Wow, the crowd loved you!" I'd hate to see how they'd respond to a band that they didn't like. Then we played somewhere else and these college guys went crazy for us. They jumped on stage and stuff.

Do any of you have girlfriends to share your success with?

T: No, but that will take care of itself as things go along I think.
Z: Yeah, we'll all find someone eventually. Have you had fans who have gone to unreal limits to be around you?
Z: No, we haven't experienced that yet. But having fans wait hours & hours to see you, that is pretty awesome to think people would want to see you that much. Then again what is unreal limits?

How does it feel to be a teen idol for so many girls?

T: I really don't know. It's really amazing. It's an awesome opportunity for us.

Is there anyway I can get hold a copy of your previous 2 albums, Boomerang & MMMBop?

T: It's pretty much out of the loop. We might release it much later on. You never know.

Meaning no disrespect, are you worried about your voices after they break? Will you stop singing?

T: Who knows what they will be like on the next album. We're always striving for the next best thing. You can't predict the future... Who knows?

Does it scare you that so many people know everything about you now?

T: You'd be pretty surprised what you don't know about us. It's pretty wild

What's it like going to school at home?

T: What's it like not doing school at home?! I don't know

Do you sign autographs though the mail?

I: We really don't, no.

Do you have any spare time?

Z: Yeah, we do lots of other things. For instance, Isaac is a computer freak - he's always at the screen. We love to go rollerblading. We paint. We do our schoolwork. We don't go to a normal school. We never have. It might sound strange for those who aren't used to it, but we like it.

Is there a Hanson motto?

Z: Yeah - 'Judge us for our music and not our age!'

If you went to the moon which object, person & animal would you take with you?

I: We'd all take our cousin Wayne, cause he's like our best friend.
Z: He's our little toy! And my animal would be my stuffed dog. No, not a real one, I'm not that gross!
T: I guess, I'd say dog cause they're loyal! But then again I might take a monkey, like the one in Indiana Jones, the li'l fella would be loadsa fun. Plus a CD player with tons of CDs.
I: I'd also take a cute girl - she could be a wild animal too!

Saucy! So what hurts your feelings?

I: We've had people saying things like 'Oh, the Hansons have changed', but they haven't even seen us. Our tutor's a really good friend of ours and sticks up for us. That's part of being in a band though - you learn to let it go. You can try to change their minds about what they may think but most of the time if you can't you just don't worry about it.
T: But I do care what people think.

Are you competitive with each other?

T: Yeah, I'm usually really physical cause I've always had the smallest voice. It's not easy for me to yell at the other two so I have to hit out sometimes. Zac is very stubborn - the drums represent real control and Isaac is always plinking on his guitar which is really annoying!

What's the most mischievous thing you've done?

Z: Buuuurp! (enough said!)
I: I went to a concert with my family and this girl came along. Well that's what makes the world go along isn't it? She and I kinda hit it off a little too well and I got into trouble for holding her hand. My parents specifically said don't....but then I did. It sounds really goofy now but I was younger them! But there's a lot more where that came from!
T: When I really little I stole a little toy like a transformer from a friend. He didn't get all mad but told his mum it was missing!
I: It was kinda my fault that Taylor got found out as I told on him. I sneaked! ' Mom - Tay has this toy!'

What are your most disgusting habits?

T: Zac, you pick your nose!
Z: I do not!
I: Oh Zac, (with finger up his nose) 'Oooh I don't pick my nose!'
Z: Burping's better!
I: That's not a bad habit it's just a thing that you love to do!
Z: Buuuuuurp! It's easy, you suck in air until you're about to burst! But Ike bites his finger nails!
I: I do but I've found a way to resist it.
T: I bite my nails too - we get it from our dad!

What's the girlfriend situation at the moment?

I: We don't have girlfriends. Never have and...
Z: (shouts) never will!
I: (laughing) No, we'll definitely have girlfriends in the future but I think that will work itself out.
Z: I want to be single always...
I: I mean we're always looking...
T: We're always looking, but we're not looking for girlfriends.

We often hear rumours of pop stars losing the plot a bit when they find stardom at an early age, does this worry you?

T: (laughs) Our friends have already said to us "if you start going weird, we're gonna sort you out"
Z: Yeah, we're not going to start having nose jobs or anything. It's cool! I mean, how many 11-year-olds get to tour Europe.

Who's the most famous person you've met?

I: Wow, erm, that's tricky.
Z: The only famous people we've met are the Spice Girls. They were really nice.
T: Geri is nearly as tall as Zac, but when she wears her platforms she comes up to my shoulders
Z: I didn't find Scary spice that scary, but she's very energetic!

If you were asked to wear see-through trousers on stage, would you do it?

I: No way. We don't do anything we feel uncomfortable with and that would be really uncomfortable.
T: Unless we liked them. If we don't like something we'll say no way and put something else on.
Z: See-through trousers. Are you mad? Are you kidding?

Would you read each others diaries if you found them?

Z: Ur, no. I probably know all the stuff in there anyway.
I: Oh no you don't! Zac would steal it and freak me out.
Z: I wouldn't read it because I know Isaac'd kill me.
I: Taylor would. He's very good at being sneaky.
T: Yeah, like I know Isaac kissed a girl while they were watching 101 Dalmations and she ran home crying to her mum. (To shocked Isaac) I find out everything!

What's the most embarassing moment you've had on stage?

Z: I'm probably the most embarassing thing on stage! (But once Zac's bass drum rolled across the stage and they had to chase it!) Have you ever had a fight?
I: I got into a fist fight once because a guy picked on Tay. He was a friend and he threw Taylor against a wall and made his nose bleed. I went really mad. He wasn't a friend after that.
T: We haven't really fought with any of our good friends. We fight with each other once in a while, but we're not too bad.
Z: We hit each other with pilows. Our fights don't last long.

Do you think you'll ever cut you hair?

I: What a weird question!
T: It's just hair. That's all we have to say on the matter, it's just hair.
I: I've had very short hair before.
T: For a long time we had short layered hair. Who knows, we could have it all shaved off one day!

Describe your dream-date scenario?

I: If you were on a dream-date with someone you really liked, it wouldn't matter where you were or what you did.
T: I think it'd matter if you were driving your date somewhere and your car broke down in a mud puddle in freezing weather - and there was a moose in the road.
I: You could find a harness and tie it around the moose! What about fights, surely you must have the odd scrap?
T: Nothing serious, we just play tricks on each other. Like Isaac is a real romantic and I found this love letter he wrote to a girl once, it was horrid, I threw it in a fountain. When I was little I couldn't care less about girls, I just wanted to throw tomatoes and stuff at them!
I: I never knew you threw it in a fountain!

How romantic are you?

T: Yuck. Now that question is totally gross!
I: Well as you all know I like writing letters. As well as Taylor throwing a letter in a fountain, he also finished off a letter I'd written to a girl who was just a friend. My bit said 'Hope all's well wth you' and so on, but Taylor ended it by writing 'I need you desperately!'

What's the most bizarre thing you've kept in your drawers?

I: We used to be on the swim team and kept our old ribbons in there. Taylor collected candy for a while.
Z: We went to get it and there was a big pile of ants eating the stuff.
T: I broke my arm about 3 years ago and I've kept the cast in the drawers. It's not gross or anything, it's funny 'cause I compare it to the size of my arm now.
Z: I tried to keep a couple of teeth in there once but they disappeared!

What's the first thing you're going to buy when the money comes rolling in?

T: (frowning) now that's a difficult question cos the money thing doesn't really matter to us.
Z: It's not important......
T: I guess we'll put it into buying more musical equipment. We'd like to build a studio so we could produce our own stuff as much as possible.
I: Just because you earn a bit of money doesn't mean you have to buy a gigantoid house and fast cars. We'll probably put most of it in the bank. I'm sure we'll have better uses for it when we grow older.
