"Hanson are cool. We like their music and we'd like to jam with them sometime."
"I hate it when people say Hanson sucks...Hanson does NOT suck. They proved that at the grammy's they can rock..face it people, bow down to Hanson, they rock and will be around alot longer than most..."
"Appear in a Hanson video? Nah, I wouldn't do it. I ran into them at the Tonight Show one time and I thought they were rude little bastards. There was this bunch of girls that had snuck backstage to get their autographs, but one of them, I think it was the oldest one, was really mean to the girls. I'm not impressed with them at all. They're not my cup of tea."
"Hanson? I'm scared of those little girls...oh sorry, boys. They scare me! I can't stand their music, those little girls. Ugh, I just hate talking about those scary little girls."
"Yeah, we like Hanson. They're very talented."
"The Hanson brothers were probably the most confused about our recording system. They had never recorded on a computer...they're a live band, and at first they were a little scared. They said 'Is this gonna be Hanson or Milli Vanilli?'"
"Hanson is so adorable. I love them!"
"I'm a major fan of Hanson."
"That drummer is so cute! And I'm not kidding, he's so adorably cute that at first...well, at first I thought that the middle guy was a girl. And I was like 'What a cool girl.' I can even remember thinking 'She's the coolest, what a great role model for young girls.' I just thought it was a girl. So when I first saw Hanson, I was caught up in the ideaology of the great role model and thinking 'What an important thing this band is doing.' But then I find out it's a guy. That didn't matter though, 'cause they're still great, they're still utterly adorable, and they seem really well-adjusted and sweet. I like the whole thing. I just like the whole MMMBop thing."
"I'd like Hanson to fight Godzilla because they have SO much power. I mean, their rock power is huge...and they'd kick Godzilla's ass!"
"I first met Hanson in Japan and they gave me some great advice about the fans and they seem real down-to-earth kids. They're great."
"'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys make Hanson look like Rancid. I really do hate that stuff...buff white guys singing slow jams."
"They are fantastic. They are very smart and very successful because of their talent and perseverence, not just because they got lucky. Taylor has the charisma of a young prophet and is in love with people, and Isaac is the comedian...although Zac is pretty funny, too."
"It was fun meeting them and they showed real class and great courage coming out on someone else's stage and playing their hearts out. They played alot better than we did when we were their age."
"I think they are great. And I really do enjoy the music."
"You've just got to love those Hanson boys. They're very talented, even when they were younger."
"To rule the world I'd build a skate park and then invite Hanson for a skate party!"
"They are so cute and adorable!"
"I think their music is great, but I could never imagine them doing gymnastics. Especially the little one. He's hilarious. Maybe Taylor I could imagine gymnastics, but not the other two. It just cracks me up imagining it! Otherwise that...they're great!"
"MMMBop...ba duba dop ba do bop...I love that tune. It's just so catchy and real easy for me to sing to!"
"That little one (Zac) is a kick-ass drummer."
"Hanson makes some great music so we're happy to share the bill with them."
"I went to a Hanson concert the other night, and you know what? They can play!"
"I want to adopt that little Hanson brother (Zac)!"
"Do you know what MMMBop means? It means Hanson!"
"I don't like Hanson. They're brats doing little things in a big world. They won't last all that long."
"They're pretty cool. I'm partial to Zac because we act the same. But they will be around for a while."
"Zac is, what, eleven? I've heard their songs, but I don't go Hanson crazy."
"They seem like nice fellas. And I'm proud of them. But I'm really upset that they gave me the boot."
At a post-Grammy 1998 party...
"I loved Hanson. I loved MMMBop. I loved it. How could you deny that? It just sounded great. And that kid can sing."
"We hung out with them for a while in the States and they were pretty cool. It's amazing how they all get along so well. If I was in a band with my brothers, I think I would have killed them by now. I can see the smallest one, Zac right? I could see him getting on well with Aaron (Carter)."
"Yeah, I think they're cool. They're very talented. I wanna make a movie with them! I don't see them as competition because we make different kinds of music. Who's tougher? I think I'm tougher than Zac but the other two are pretty big. Isaac is...seventeen? I'm nine. Taylor I think might kill me! No! Just joking. I don't really think about who's tougher. I just like them.
"I met Hanson at the Top Of The Pops studio. I'm not really a big fan of theirs but they were quite nice boys."
Competition between the Backstreet Boys and Hanson...
"We have a completely different sound and look and image and whatever you have, and we do not feel like rivals at all. CASE CLOSED. We really do think that Ike, Zac, and Taylor are talented though--they are really what you call 'boy wonders.' We are really happy for them--they have been working hard for like five years or more to get where they are--they are not the overnight sensation everyone thinks they are."
"Those kids in Hanson are so talented and cute. Someone should get them a sitcom."
"I think Hanson's gonna be around for a long time. I think that they're three great, talented young men and I think that what people need to stop doing to music is looking at everything in the negative. But people are trying their best. When I hear Hanson sing live, they have good voices, they play live instruments. I think they are going to grow as musicians. They are great entertainers and they have alot of personality...some clean-cut kids trying to have a good time. They sound like the Jackson 5 to me a little bit. They've got alot of soul to them."
"Ah, nice bunch of lads, totally different class, you see what I mean? The guys can sing. They can play. Good songs. They can all sing...got personality. They're brilliant, you know. I'd give it to them every time, you know? Well done. Brilliant. They deserve it. As for Marilyn Manson, God forget Marilyn Manson!"
