NOTABLE QUOTABLES

TAYLOR
On pursuing a music career:
�It�s a lot of work, and you have to be really dedicated. And when you want something,it�s not that easy. You have to know what you want and keep going for it.�
�It�s always nice to be able to come back somewhere that�s home. Even though New York and LA and all those different places are cool, I think Oklahoma is family.�
�Put it this way: We got the drums and the instruments and a week later we played live. But that doesn�t mean we were good when we played live, it just means we got out there and did it.�
On his hidden talents:
�I used to be able to say �great Dr. Pepper taste� in a burp.�
�Part of what Hanson is, is that there�s not just one guy who sings. Having three voicesis what makes us Hanson.�
Explaining Zac�s silly behavior:
�Zac�s been hit on the head a couple of times really hard.�
�If you get nervous, you don�t act like the natural you.�
�Everything changes.�
ISAAC
�Singing is in our genes.�
�I think that music is a part of us, and it�s always what we�ve done, and we intend to be doing it for a long time. If we weren�t doing music, then we wouldn�t be who we are, because music is our life. It�s what we love.�
�We have a great relationship with each other. We�re best friends, basically.�
�I think that any musician will tell you that you have to love music in order to do it.�
�None of us has a girlfriend. But being in a band, you meet people everywhere you go. I know mine will turn up one day.�
�I used to be the goofiest one, and then Zac just kind of took over.�
�We don�t have a shortage of friends, that�s for sure.�
�We love to make music, we love doing what we�re doing, we love where we are, and we want to keep doing that in our lives.�
�Even though being a kid is kind of a carefree sort of thing for the most part, I guess there are definitely a lot of things that stick in kids� minds.�
On how the name �MMMBop� was chosen:
�Three M�s looks like the right size. It wasn�t quite MMMMMMBop, and it wasn�t quite MMBop, it was MMMBop, a little bit in the middle. It just looked good, three M�s and a Bop.�
ZACHARY
�We�re all linked together because we�re all goofy at different times - and we all clean up.�
�Who do we look up to? Well, we look up to, usually, the people that are tall, you know, usually about 6 foot 2 and up.�
�The secret is, nobody else�s arms are as long. I couldn�t play guitar or piano, so I went to the drums because I�ve got long arms.�
�I�m the weirdo.�
�I�ve never kissed a girl, but I do think about it.�
