Favorite Sports:

"We like to play basketball and football, but soccer is a favorite because that's the only one we're halfway good at. And we love to Rollerblade." ---Taylor Hanson

Favorite Song:

"I like 'Tubthumping' by Chumbawamba. But really, we're so busy that we get a little out of touch. Then we go home and our friends say, 'Hey, have you heard this song?'." ---Taylor Hanson

Favorite CDs:

"Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys [was the last CD we listened to]. There are a lot of great harmonies on that record." ---Taylor Hanson

Favorite Cartoon:

"I love Freakazoid." ---Taylor Hanson

Personality:

"I’m more quiet and laid-back." ---Taylor Hanson

"Taylor has always been one of the shyer ones" ---Isaac Hanson.

"I’m the least outgoing, I guess. But once we get on stage, we’re all outgoing. We really love to be with the crowds." ---Taylor Hanson

Marilyn Manson:

"He's hard-core, but I think he's actually more of an actor." ---Taylor Hanson

Educational Opportunities:

"How many English teachers would love to be able to take their kids to see Shakespeare's house?" ---Taylor Hanson

Dreams:

"Yeah, me too [I don't have time for dreams]. The schedule we're keeping is pretty hectic, so when you sleep, you sleep hard-you're out. Besides, we probably wouldn't reveal our dreams anyway." ---Taylor Hanson

Chores:

"When you're in a big family like ours-there are six kids-there's always plenty to do. So we just do whatever our parents tell us to. 'Go do the dishes.' 'Oh, OK.'" ---Taylor Hanson

Future:

"Everything is exciting. Who knows what will happen next?" ---Taylor Hanson

"We've just barely started. There are so many places to go, so much time to expand." ---Taylor Hanson

Tight Schedule:

"Right after we got finished filming [the "I Will Come To You" video] at the Beacon Theater we left immediately that night for Europe." ---Taylor Hanson

Music in the Past:

"Music was unavoidable in our house." ---Taylor Hanson

Playing Outside in Tulsa:

"It worked out for the best [not being allowed inside the bar]. A lot of our fans are underage, too, so it was cool." ---Taylor Hanson

Internet Girlfriend Gossip:

"Don't believe everything you log onto. I don't have a girlfriend yet. But if you live life, you meet girls." ---Taylor Hanson

Family:

"We all know each other pretty well. You really need somebody to help you out. [Joking] Who else is going to carry all the instruments to the stage?" ---Taylor Hanson

Arthur Ashe Kids' Day:

"It's a great event for all these kids and it's going to be a lot of fun! It will be really fun just to play some music... we're really psyched to do all of this." ---Taylor Hanson

The Fans:

"It's pretty amazing. We get to have a lot of fun doing something we just love to do. In terms of the people who are into it, that just makes it more fun for us! We're glad [the fans] are looking forward to it! It's going to be a ton of fun and we're looking forward to getting to perform for all of them." ---Taylor Hanson

"It's really weird getting phone calls, and people going 'I love you, I love you, I love you.'" ---Taylor Hanson

"A band [attracts] girls even if they were bad or good or whatever. We get a lot of different kinds of people." ---Taylor Hanson

"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 Hanson

Middle of Nowhere:

"Nobody has written a song about it, so we just thought of the word and wrote 'Weird'. 'A Minute Without You' we had almost totally written and we finished with Mark Hudson" ---Taylor Hanson

"And then 'Yearbook', which is very intense. We didn't experience it ourselves, because we're home-schooled. But a lot of people have said, 'There almost always seems like there's a picture that says, 'Picture Unavailable''. So we thought about that, and that was also something nobody had really built a song off of. We thought of the idea and then based it around this kid disappearing." ---Taylor Hanson

Zac's Personality:

"He's dragged people onstage. We would give t-shirts away. This one girl raised her hand, but she was too embarrassed to come up, so he went out there and carried her onto the stage." ---Taylor Hanson

Leader of the Group:

"We take turns being boss. It's kinda majority rules..." ---Taylor Hanson

Looking Back:

"We were just looking at some old, old footage that we sent out, and it was like, 'Wow! What were we thinking?' Once you start expanding, you look back and say, 'why did we do that?' On our last independent album, we produced it ourselves. If we did that album right now, we'd be able to do it so much better. We know so much more than we did a year ago." ---Taylor Hanson

Lower Voice:

"It's better because your voice is more expressive. It's also cool because our voices are very, very similar. [Ike and I] trade off vocal parts, and then playing it back we'll be like, 'Hey, you did that.' 'No, that was you.'" ---Taylor Hanson
