Hanson about Girls..

"I don't think there's any one quality that makes a girl cool. You know, you find yourself meeting all kinds of different people, but until you finally find that girl and go, Whoa, she's it, I don't think you can really pinpoint it. You never know until you meet the girl. Hopefully, it's more than just being physically attracted to her. It's not like I'm instantly into someone because she looks like Cindy Crawford. " - Isaac

"I don't think anybody's figured it out. Guys just can't figure girls. I think girls have the guys whipped the whole time. " - Isaac

"We have no secrets to keep. We don't have girlfriends. It doesn't mean that we're not dating, but none of us has a steady relationship. We don't like to speak about that - we're here to make music." - Zac

"Girls are so confusing. For example, when girls are in puberty and grow up, they can be 14 or 25. You don't see the difference when you're a boy" - Taylor

When was asked if they think girls are really interested in them or only like them because of their success and fame - "If you don't realize it and you find that girl really hot and you're absolutely blind then your brothers will inform you, believe me." - Taylor.  Afer that Ike answer him: "Then it goes like "Man, don't you realize she's only flirting with you because she wants..." " - Isaac.

"We don't understand them!! No way. I think it's basicially a hormonal problem. " - Isaac.

"It seems to be a law of nature that girls always confuse boys" - Zac.

"Girls always have those up and downs. Boys and girls are just like dogs and cats. If two dogs meet, they stop, sniff at each other and walk on by. That's 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 and scratch. And they're way too much engaged in themselves. "
 - Taylor

"They really remember EVERYTHING" - Zac

"That's the next problem! It's always our fault, ALWAYS. " - Taylor.

"You always meet girls and think "Wow, she's really pretty and cute and I'd like to get to know her." " - Isaac

"I dunno. I mean, girls are something that definitely something that's important to us, but, er, nobody has a, a steady girlfriend. " - Taylor.

""Sometimes I feel like girls aren't screaming at us. They're screaming at some band called Hanson they saw on TV." - Taylor.

""If somebody's obsessed with you, it would be kind of hard to go out with her. You'd take her hand and she'll scream! But if she was nice enough, yeah, I'd date a fan." - Taylor

"We're not doing this because we want girls to scream at us...but they can scream if they want!" -Taylor

"We were writing songs about girls when we still thought girls had cooties." - Zac.

"Girls are like the icing on a cake, or music is like a hot dog and girls are the condiments. Life is a Twinkie, and girls are the sticky white stuff inside." -Zac

"We're allowed to date, but the girlfriend thing probably wouldn't be a good idea. A girl would probably not want to deal with me." - Isaac.

"I know Isaac kissed a girl while they were watching 101 Dalmations and she ran home crying to her mom. I find out everything!" - Taylor

"I haven't got any clear picture of my dream girl. I don't mind a bit what she looks like, but she must be very cool and like listening to me. She has to be faithful too, and that's important.But I don't want to rush things. After all, I'm only 15 years-old and have my whole life in front of me." - Taylor

"What do I look for in a girl? Two eyes, two legs, and breathing!"  - Taylor

"I've often thought about how nice it would be to be in love. But I don't belive 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 kissed a girl yet. Actually I find the whole thing a bit embarassing, though it's me who gets the most love letters. I read each letter very carefully." - Taylor

"You can't let yourself think that girls want to be near you because you're so cool. Honestly, I don't think we're cool at all. " - Taylor

"We haven't really figured out the girl thing yet. And no one will ever figure out the screaming thing. " - Taylor
 

Quotes about everything but girls..

" "Runaway Run" is about being in love with someone and knowing it's not going to happen. "In the City" is about someone cheating on you and you feel completely lost." - Taylor

"It's inspiring when we get letters from people saying, "You've changed our lives." Or "I was gonna commit suicide and now I'm not because of one of your songs." - Taylor

" "If Only" is about the dorky guy who doesn't know what to say to the girl -- like, 'How will I ask her out?'"  " - Zac

"The point of the song is to make sure what you do more with your life than just live it.. You've got to have a purppose, you've got to go for it and do something more than just live.. So, that is what the song is about"
- Ike (About dying to be alive)

"I have a pierced ear. I like it, but I would not recommend cartilage piercing. It did not hurt at all when I got it done, but it gets swollen, and you get a bump on your ear no matter what -- it's a hassle. " - Taylor

"We don't think it's important to tell people the colour of the underwear we wear or the size of our shoes! " - Taylor

"It's so cool to get to talk to fans, to find out where they're from and why they bought the records." - Isaac

When was asked how come they decided to have TTA as the first single:
"Well, " If Only " is more like the last stuff and we were kinda going, " Well this is more what people expect, " whereas " This Time Around " is kinda like, this is the next thing, this is where the band's going. " -Taylor

When was asked if they have a message to their fans:
"That's a good question. We're just excited to see what they think of the music, we're excited to play shows and see them. " - Taylor.

"Well we're not afraid of all that. Drugs are gross." - Isaac. (way to go!)

"We love to try stuff, but we're not into abusing anything. I would say at the proper occasion, drinking a glass of wine or smoking a cigarette is fine." - Isaac  (Ouch..)

"We're very open-minded. We just want to be smart in the decisions we
make." - Zac

"What's great is that our fans are getting older with us. On our Internet message board [www.Hanson.net], people are like, 'I've been a fan of Hanson since I was 16, now I'm 19.' Like us, they're not young anymore." - Isaac.

"I think the reason Hanson works is that we all trade off roles. For instance, at times, Zac can by psychotic, and other times, totally linear, like 'Shut up, we gotta work on this'. I think if you're trying to describe what role we play, we all play every role." -Taylor

"It's pretty hard to say what we do hasn't been a massive education." -Zac

"No matter what, even if everything crashes and burns, at least we enjoyed ourselves and had a passion for our work." - Taylor.

When asked if they're going to change their looks as well as their sound:
"Full body tattoos, and we're gonna pierce every part of our bodies so people will know we're really cool rockers! no, just, you know, we love to play music and that's the truth. and i think hopefully that'll come through so people will see that. " - Taylor.

"There are certain people who are never gonna like the music, but we just wanna say, "here we are, do with us what you will." " -Taylor.

When asked how come he and Ike cut their hair :
"About five billion people have asked us that! it was just time, you know? it was just like, why not? we always said it's just hair, so that's the truth."
- Taylor.

"We have read some hanson fan fiction and you guys have a very creative imagination" - Isaac.

That's all for now, come back soon :)
