Isaac Hanson

Everybody feels up sometimes, they feel down sometimes, sometimes they feel sideways, sometimes they feel weird. And the beauty of music is you can express all those different feelings in all the different songs you write. And hopefully, people can identify with those.

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.

Anthem' was the record that almost didn't get made for a completely different reason than 'Underneath.'

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.

As much as we were very proud of being a pop band, I know we never felt like we fit into that category.

Being an entrepreneur means being a creative businessperson.

We have always adapted ourselves to the songs instead of vice versa.

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.

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.'

Hanson will be associated with 'MMMBop' and long blonde hair in the same way the Beatles are associated with mop tops and suits.

As an artist or musician, you want to be remembered for the music you make.

Taylor being married and so on, that does evolve the dynamic on the road.
