"They almost ripped my body half apart!"

~Taylor, TTMON

"The only reason we can do this is because somebody went out and bought the record. So being here, playing the show, that's what it's all about."

~Taylor, Road to Albertane

"I just slide into it. I think that might make it feel a little better."

~Taylor, www.hansonline.com

Well, I know it would make *me* feel a lot better! >;-) ~TLS

"...there is always a corner of my mind saved just for him. He occupies that one part inside of my brain that will always be his; he owns it."

~A Minute Without You, Middle of Nowhere

"As he stood leaning on the bar, I could see he did so with a careless kind of sexiness, as if he had no idea how striking he looked."

~Paradise, by Anonymous (hosted, Confessions of a Taylor Hanson Junkie)

"You're still the exact same person. You can't let it get to you. You kind of keep each other's heads screwed on straight because when one of you starts acting weird, you go, 'Cut it out!'.

~Taylor, Toronto Sun, 8/18/97

""I think you have to make sure that you're always having fun. Make sure you're doing something you really want to do and then put your whole heart into it."

THANKS! :)

You guys!! You are SO COOL! We really appreciate the tremendous response we have gotten from our survey! It has been awesome reading the interesting things you had to say. Hopefully a few more of you will find a few minutes to reply as well. We still want to hear from you! AND, thank you *so* much for the wonderful things you had to say about TAD! ~We feel so LOVED!~ LOL! Doing something you enjoy so much is even cooler when other people are getting into it, too. So, to show our appreciation, here are two pics of the Divine and Luscious Jordan Taylor, taken a few weeks ago at the Teen People thingie...(we racked our brains last night trying to think of what in the HECK that thing was called! LOL!) Anyway, enjoy! :)

Tay's Love Slave and Tay's Coquette

"People often think that we grew our hair because of the band, that it's some kind of style thing. But we just decided to grow our hair one day."

~Taylor. UK Smash Hits, August, 1997

Well, people.....Today is the day for love, right??!! And we *know* who it is that we all love, isn't that so???

Happy Valentine's Day!!

<3 <3 <3

"I've often thought about how nice it would be to be in love.But I don't believe you can imagine what it's like if you haven't experienced it. Still, I think about it a lot, of course, and I try to imagine what it would be like. But no girl has made my heartbeat really fast yet. I haven't even kissed a girl yet. Actually I find the whole thing abit embarrassing, though it's me who gets the most love letters. I read each letter very carefully."

-Taylor

"It's better because your voice is more expressive as you get older. It's also cool because our voices are very, very similar. We've actually confused ourselves at times. Isaac and I will trade off vocal parts, and then playing it back we'll be like, 'Hey, you did that.' "No, that was you'."

~Taylor. Mr. Showbiz, 1998

"Well, at least she's not shy", Taylor stated matter-of-factly, taking a bite of his ice cream. I watched intently as his lips covered the pink, creamy concotion nestled in his spoon. Withdrawing the spoon from the depths of his mouth, he swallowed delicately and then ran his tongue over his bottom lip. 'God, he's so hot', I groaned inwardly."

"You are in a position that all you have to do is shake somebody's hand and you can make their day."

~Taylor

"I've never kissed a girl, but I often think about it."

~Taylor

Okay, okay...I think we all know this quote is probably a little "old" at this point, but this sweet picture just fit it so well, don't you all agree? :-)

"We're just normal, totally normal guys. When somebody walks up to you and starts screaming 'Oh my God, you're Hanson!' it's weird. Because you think about yourself: you're just a normal guy, you're not anybody special."

~Taylor

Well, *WE* think you're *very* special, Taylor! :)

"Listen to the music. It'll speak for itself."

~Taylor

"It's just a rumor. I think people just sit around and make things up."

~Taylor

"We get on the internet quite a bit, not just surfing around, but using it. We check out fan sites, but we use it as a very cool tool."

~Taylor, Yahoo! Chat, November 1998

"The songs are inspired by everyday life. Originally, we would write about our brothers and sisters. Just whatever we were thinking about. And, of course, girls."

~Taylor, TV Hits, August 1997

"I'm better at soccer than basketball, which is what everyone plays over here. We have a soccer pitch in our backyard at home, so we do get to play a lot."

~Taylor, Smash Hits, October 1998

"I think what we've always said is Hanson is three guys who write, play, and sing. On 3 CAR GARAGE there are more songs that Ike is singing on. There really is no lead lead singer...it just depends. I think there are more songs from all three guys in the show."

~Taylor, Yahoo! Chat, November 1998

**Just a little side note....today's pic is actually one of TLS's personal ones that she managed to take on the Albertane! Mmmm....there's nothing like Up-Close Tay, folks! >;-)

"When I see you smile, I can face the world You know, I can do anything. When I see you smile, I see a ray of light, See it shining right through the rain When I see you smile, Baby, when I see you smile at me."

~"When I See You Smile"-Bad English

"We don't really see ourselves as a boy band, we just see ourselves as boys who are in a band. There are so many different groups, whether it's young guys or whoever, playing music, and that's cool."
