“Most of our shows are about two and a half hours long.”
“Hanson plays music that is very much a part of everything.”
“I am continually pleasantly surprised by how many people are showing up at shows and are younger than our first record.”
“The most creative person is not the person who can come up with the best idea; it's the one who can take that group of things on the table and assemble them in the greatest multiple of unique ways.”
“No matter what, I will always hope for that day when I look around and can say, 'Oh yeah, I wrote a song that touched me emotionally the way that a song like 'She's Got A Way,' by Billy Joel did.'”
“People often ask us if we had direct influences. Honestly, just a lot of different music - not necessarily individual people. We listen to anything from Bob Dylan to Massive Attack to Aerosmith to En Vogue. We very much enjoy all that music.”
“Careers are like roller coasters. You go up, you go down, and you spin yourself around.”
“We've always believed in our music.”
“I'm a bit of a hothead in certain circumstances, but you've got to temper it because your fans are there, and they've paid good money to see a show.”
“I joke that we're not dissimilar to a rock band in the '70s.”
“Yes it was we, are a few years back parted from our record company and took the album that we were making with them and released it independently in the United States had a number one Independent debut in the United States.”
“As much as we were very proud of being a pop band, I know we never felt like we fit into that category.”
“We pushed our first record, 'Boomerang,' to different labels, but it was hard for them to see though the 'white guys singing R&B' thing.”
“Kids will ask us 'How do you become famous?' It's the wrong question. Focus on the craft, not on the fame.”
“When we were younger, we sang at the dinner table. We started doing two part harmony, then three part, and then we added back up tapes and instruments.”
“Death is always a reality, and life is incredibly short.”
“Our songs all carry the same way.”
“We said from the very beginning that we're in this for the long haul.”
“I was totally offended when people said we were like *Nsync. I've got nothing against them. I know those guys. But comparing us was lame. It was apples and oranges.”
“It's hard to complain when you say, 'We're gonna go to the clip where Helen Hunt and Will Ferrell are on 'Saturday Night Live' making fun of your song.'”
