There’s something about music that it can move you in a way that nothing else can.

We’ve always been about writing music that makes us happy and then putting it out there.

Music is what makes us human.

Being in a band is like being in a marriage. It’s hard work.

You have to keep reinventing, keep pushing forward.

The creative process is a journey of self-discovery.

You have to be willing to put in the work to achieve your dreams.

Every song has its own unique energy.

Every song has its own story to tell.

Music has the power to change the world, one song at a time.

The best songs are the ones that come from the heart.

Music is a powerful force; it has the ability to bring people together.

Every song is a snapshot of a moment in time.

I think you should always stand for what you believe in.

The best songs come from real experiences.

Faith without love is to be in people’s bondage. Love without faith, is to be in your own bondage.

Something in me wanted to find out how far I could run without stopping.

People have told me to have sex when i feel the desire to, but right now i have no desire to pull my pants down in front of a girl.

I don’t tend to get girls as fans. I just get all the young guys and weirdos.

It’s all about going out there, performing live, making music. But, obviously, being a guy who has thousands of screaming female fans doesn’t exactly make it less fun.

Love is selfless. The key is giving up yourself.

I dont usually have dreams. I’m to busy sleeping to dream.

It’s the people who come out to the shows and the people who buy the albums who actually matter. Everyone else is actually icing on the cake.

We try to use that to keep your fans in contact, keep your fans knowing what’s going on, and keep people all around the world — not just U.S. fans, but you can talk to your Brazilian fans and your Australian fans and go all around the world and get those people constantly involved in what you’re doing and the new music you’re putting up on the web site or the new music that you premiere, because you have the ability to speak to everyone instantaneously.

It didn’t end up being that film because there was a lot of stuff that went on that we didn’t — no one could have anticipated: forming our own label, leaving our label, the long waiting period and sort of the bureaucracy of working through major label mergers, new staff that had no investment in what we’d done in the past. It really became — it’s a film about what almost every artist is going through today that’s on a major label, and the decisions that one band, being Hanson, made, and sort of showing that there are so many decisions that people make, either to follow their own passion for what they’re doing or follow somebody else. Or there are bands that just fall apart from the process.

The real reason we ended up getting into that type of music was our dad worked for an oil company so we spent a year overseas when we were young kids. Because of that, it was all Spanish TV and radio so we ended up having these ’50s and ’60s tapes, tapes of that music.

We’ve been involved in starting a web site called ‘Are You Listening?’ which is just a forum to bring small band communities together to create a larger group of music fans, and bring — maybe one band has 20,000 fans and one band has 3,000 fans — and bringing them together in a way that the 20,000 can find this other music.

It’s pretty much run by everybody. We’re very involved in everything that goes on. We always have been.

It’s cool to have critical success because it’s always nice for your peers to say, ‘Good job.’ But who cares about them.

It would be nice to have radio support, not that we’ve ever had that much trouble with it.

It’s Pretty Much Run By Everybody. We’re Very Involved In Everything That Goes On. We Always Have Been.

Music is my language, the one I use to express my thoughts and emotions.

Save a tree, eat a beaver.

I think for us, we don’t feel like the future of music is in the act of being a record company. We feel like the future of the music business is in empowering artists to have better and better tools to communicate with their fans. We want to be people who are saying to artists, “Look, you don’t need that company over there to release your album. You can do it this way.” Almost more of a band partnership than a label-artist relationship. Not about ownership of content, but about empowerment.

God just told me to shut up.

I’m the wacky one. Wacky. Wacky.

I don’t tend to get girls as fans. I just get all the young guys and weirdos.

For us, being a label, we took out the whole aspect of the business that goes into sifting through people who don’t care, who don’t get what you’re trying to do. We can just hire and work with people who get it – the people who understand what this project is about. When you’re on a label, you’re just hoping somebody will stick their neck out and work for you. Most bands are just like, “I hope they do it. I hope they promote it.” But being a label, we know exactly what’s happening.

Lots and lots of trees together, equals big trees.

Something in me wanted to find out how far I could run without stopping.

A girlfriend? No thanks, I’d rather play nintendo and build my lego set.

I don’t think that having a family changes the way we tour as much as it just changes the personal perspective on wanting to get finished with the tour, or the reason you’ve got to go out and bring home the bacon, that kind of stuff.

We’ve been touring for so long and people ask me every once in a while, “What’s it like working with your brothers?” and I go, “What’s it like not?” Our first paying performance, I was 6 years old, you know? I almost don’t know anything else, so I guess it feels pretty normal to me.

I’m about to turn 24, but I’m probably closer to the average 34-year-old in a lot of ways. I never had the problem of, “Who am I and who do I want to be?” I’ve known for so long, so I think that’s why getting married made sense early. And then the biggest factor is just finding really incredible women. I think that’s the part about being in a band with female fans: You get to meet so many women, and you figure out pretty quick which ones stand out in the crowd and which ones are really connecting with you.

When you become a band and you’ve got people who want to be a part of your experience or want to get close to you for what you are, not who you are, you have that challenge of trying to find out who’s genuine.

It’s hard to find people to trust in the record industry, always. It’s an industry with a lot of bullshit. There’s a lot of people who are in positions of power that really know nothing and care for nothing. So I think, yeah, you learn pretty early on that you’ve really got to trust yourself more than anybody else, and that nobody’s going to care about what you do more than you.

You may be pulling from different influences because of different things that are going on in your life, different people that are around you and more experiences to pull from.

Love is selfless. The key is giving up yourself.
