Hanson

"We're not a novelty act, and we don't plan to be. I'm sure people will say that. We love to make music, we love doing what we're doing. We love where we are, and we want to keep doing that all our lives."

"It's just so fun for us - all these kids, and moms and dads, who love this music. It's just so cool that all these people are having fun and dancing or clapping to your music."

"We started out together, and that's how it's going to stay. Being together is everything. We love what we're doing and that's not about to change."

"People are going to say, 'Oh they're young kids, they don't play, they don't write,they were put together.' But you just have to listen to it. The music speaks for itself."

"I think it was a natural progression, 'cause we were always singing. Our parents would go out and ask us to do the dishes and they'd come back and we wouldn't have done the dishes, but we'd have written a song. We didn't think about it, it just happened."

"If you listen closely, you'll hear my voice is about four notes lower at the end (of Middle Of Nowhere)than it was in the beginning."

"We're best friends; we genuinely enjoy hanging out with each other."

"I hope we get to stay in the music business and maybe do some acting or directing films or something like that. Actually, I'd like to be a cartoonist if this doesn't work out."

"I'm not that great a drummer, but everybody says I can play, so I'll take their word for it. The secret is, nobody else's arms are as long. I couldn't play guitare or piano, so I went to the drums because I've got long arms."

"They're like my best friends, only bester."

"How did this happen so fast? Can you tell us that?"

"Sometimes one of us will write something and then the rest of us will come in, or one of us will write the whole song, or we'll come up with the whole song together. It's all who has the best idea."
