"Try...is the word"

"He's 11 (to Ike)...he's 16 (to Zac)...and I'm 2" - explaining how they see each other at the same level

"This is what we want to do and always have wanted to do."

"You write about whatever's going through your life at that time."

"Be yourself." - on the uselessness of pick-up lines

"Hopefully they'll do what they want to do...cause that's what we're doing." - on his younger siblings

"Look around you guys and make sure you're not stepping on anybody." -in Melbourne

"He keeps us in line." - on Zac

"It's deeper than it sounds." - on MMMBop

"Zac, I think that's your vibrating underwear..."

"God, you guys are loud...you can stop screaming now..."

"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"

"Have fun with it while it lasts."

"It's pretty amazing, it really is."

"When Zac gets too old, he's out..."

"Keep them up there, come on!" - during a performance on audience participation

"As we're getting older, we've been having problems with these grey hairs back here."

"We're living life and it doesn't matter how old you are."

"Life is crazy."

"We're changing all the time"

"Zac looks like an angel, that's what's so ironic. Don't let his looks fool you. You never know what he's going to pull next. His talent makes up for his mischief making, however. Zac is the most fun-loving person on the planet. He could turn the world's saddest situation into a fun time!"

"Isaac is a classic big brother. While Zac and I are bumbling and stumbling, Ike knows the right way to do everything."

"[Isaac] is always smiling privately to himself about something and he won't tell us about what, no matter how much we beg!"

"Isaac loves to curl up with a good book and leave the world behind--but he doesn't have a lot of time to do that anymore."

"[Isaac] is really a peacemaker. He always knows the right thing to say or do to end an argument in the family or among friends."

"You can't take Zac anywhere. He'll either get lost or say something that will get you into a heap of trouble. We're always trying to talk our way out of a weird situation he created."

"If you really want to know what goes on behind the musci, Isaac is the best Hanson to interview."

On Zac..."He is such a great drummer--and he's natural! He's been banging on pots and pans in the house since he was two."

On Zac..."He is the most hyper person you'll ever meet--sometimes I want to stun him with a tranquilizer gun to get him to sit still."

"Zac is in control most of the time - you don't mess with Zac!"

"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 find history totally fascinating. Whenever we go to a new town I find a bit about the history of the place first."

"It's quite astonishing actually how we get on so well, because we are in fact, quite different deep down."

"When I am on stage, I forget everything around me and concentrate only on the beat of the music. You can't really describe the feeling."

"I often go into my own little world. At least that's what Ike and Zac say."

"That's one of the most fun things about this job (meeting the fans). If we had to stop that, the fun would be over and there wouldn't be much point in carrying on." - on Hanson fans...um...to steal from Field of Dreams...if you make it (music), we will come!

"Although we love what is on the radio now, that is not the stuff that inspired us."

"While we were overseas was when Ike first started writing songs. He wrote his first song in Ecuador, on a small electric keyboard. The song was about the people on the streets; the poverty of where we were."

"I think it is really amazing that people all over the world have gotten to hear the music and they like it. It is really an awesome feeling to know that."

"Think of us as old people with high voices."

"We are basically best friends"

"We once did 21 interviews in one day. Photo shoots are more exhausting."

"It is kind of a weird question because the thing is that's not what it's all about at all." - when asked if they were rich

"You have to hope that in a year we will still be in music but I mean ideally, you would love to be able to do it for a long, long time."

"We would like to start touring in the coming January, February, or March...that time period. That would be starting in the States and then...and we thought about maybe even starting in Australia, but that is, I mean, you never know what is going to happen. But we really do want to tour in Australia."

"We try and get on the internet and check out all the sites about us. We read all the messages left for us. It is hard when we are traveling, but when we get the chance it is a lot of fun."

"I don't think jumping out of a window would be too good an idea but skydiving from a plane...wow what a rush!"

"The one thing you always have to remember when you're writing a song, is anything could be a good piece later on, so you should never say, 'Oh that's bad,' just because it's not finished."

"If you get nervous, you don't act the natural you."

"My voice changed over the time we were recording the last album. We had to lower some of the songs, but that's the way life goes."

"If there's a girl who's a fan and she's a bit crazy, you are not gonna go out with her."

"We would like to say right now that we are not putting out Hanson dolls."

"It worked out for the best. A lot of our fans are underage too, so it was cool." - on their performance at the Blue Rose Cafe.

"Don't believe everything you log onto. I don't have a girlfriend yet. But if you live life, you meet girls. That's pretty basic." - on girls and life

"Music was unavoidable in our house."

"I love Freakazoid." - on cartoons.

"We all know each other pretty well." - on his family.

"You really need somebody to help you out. Who else is going to carry all the instruments to the stage?" - on his parents

"I'm not a girl, but I won't pull my pants down to prove it."

"I think we're pretty normal. We're like most guys our age. We like football and girls---I mean what guy doesn't like girls?"

"Girls can scream at us if they want. We could get used to it. Hey, we could even learn to love itl"

"We have more caffeine than most adults."

"We never said we wanted to be rock stars."

"It's all about having fun. I don't understand bands like Oasis who walk around in a big strop."

"Hardly any girls are into things like violent movies---Girls just want to talk, they want romance."

"I wouldn't say we were bad boys. We're just up for having a laugh."

"We're not on the road all the time. We lived in England for a whole month and no-one knew! We lived in this huge mansion with a house and a huge pool. We had our own recording studio right next door."

"Girls are great, but then so is hanging out with my brothers. One day we'll all feel different but right now girls and kissing aren't high up on my list."

"People think we need a bodygaurd with us but that's not true. When we lived in England, people got used to seeing us and no-one hassled us."

"Isaac's the most romantic one of us. Ever since he was young he's been into girls. He doesn't like to be portrayed like that but he is."

"Yeah, if you are going to believe all the rumors online that we have girlfriends....then I must date 200 Tinas, 400 Jennifers, 100 Kimberlys, and 50 Cindys. It comes with the fame, you just have to get used to it and face the facts. No one has girlfriends we just don't have the time."

My neighbor was being picked on by these guys once and I felt bad so I stepped in and I 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 a big man and I'm not."

"Girls are definitely very inspirational. They were made that way."

"Well, Ike is going to kill me if he ever sees this, but he sleeps with a small brown teddy. It's almost as old as I am, and it's got Zac beat by a few months."

"I just hope that the first time I kiss a girl, she's not as hairy as our dog."

"We were coming out of a radio station, and there were about 20,000 people outside this station. And this 40-year-old woman jumps and grabs at my hair! I'm going, 'Have some control, woman!'"

"You know, I�m really not sure. But one thing I can you tell is there are plenty of weird people on this planet already, so we don�t need any more!" - on the existence of aliens.
