I like to borrow forms and quotes and use a lot of allusions, in both poetry and music.
You can be creative in anything — in math, science, engineering, philosophy — as much as you can in music or in painting or in dance.
I think it's important to really press on with the song writing and just go with it. There's no code, there's no craft... it's just let yourself shine through your music. If it's meant to be loved and heard, it'll happen.
When you sit down to write something, there should be no guidelines. The main idea is not supposed to be, 'How many different ways can we sell it?' That's so far away from the true spirit of what music is.
I feel that when you care about your music, taking risks is something you should do to keep things exciting.
If you really analyze my music, there is a lot of violence in my music because the Bronx, at the era and time I was coming up, was almost equivalent to how a 'Braveheart' or 'Gladiator' movie would be.
Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make.

There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.
There's always a spattering of people who see Hanson who were influenced by classic '60's and '70's rock and roll. In a lot of ways, we're sort of the anatomy of a '70's rock band if you examine what we do: white guys who grew up listening to soul music from the '50's and '60's.
I believe it is in my nature to dance by virtue of the beat of my heart, the pulse of my blood and the music in my mind.
The Tinted Windows shows were very fun but it's very different for me as a performer. I'm not playing music — I'm just singing and I missed that. I miss rocking out on keys, drums, guitar... whatever it is.
