I am continually pleasantly surprised by how many people are showing up at shows and are younger than our first record.
-
We're just going to be ourselves, and we're just going to cross our fingers and hope that people like it. Because that's all you can do.
-
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.

Oklahoma is very entrepreneurial.
-
A lot of potential scenarios create challenges. It's all about how you grew up, values instilled in you.
-
Everybody has their demons; everyone has their challenges.
-
Texas is a pretty free state.
-
We're Midwestern guys who grew up listening to soul music.
-
I don't get sick of 'MMMBop' in any way shape or form, and I don't know why I would.
-
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.
-
Our songs all carry the same way.
-
I'm doing what I do for the right reasons. I love the music that I make.

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.

Hanson plays music that is very much a part of everything.
-
Hanson is not the pop band that a lot of people think we are. I think we're a lot more rooted in a lot of music history... we're songwriters, we're singers, we're players first. We're not entertainers, we're not celebrities, and frankly, we don't really want to be.
-
'Anthem' was the record that almost didn't get made for a completely different reason than 'Underneath.'
-
I think there are a variety of misconceptions that go along with what 'MMMBop' and our band has been perceived as from the beginning, but I have absolutely no qualms whatsoever about playing 'MMMBop.'
-
Eventually, the bad boy image affects fans' willingness to show up.
-
Ultimately, our goal was to be a band and be recognized for our songs and making records. And I think that has been the case.
-
Being an entrepreneur means being a creative businessperson.
-
We've always been proud of what we've done.
-
Hanson will be associated with 'MMMBop' and long blonde hair in the same way the Beatles are associated with mop tops and suits.
-
'MMMBop' took about a year to actually get completed. The chorus idea had really been around for a long time, and then we built the song around it.

There's something extraordinary about selling millions and millions of albums.
