When was the last time you cried?

Taylor: "Last time we did an Interview! Do we cry at movies? No, we watch action movies and we don't cry at Arnold Schwarzenegger!"

Issac: "I can't remember the last time I cried, I must have been really young. I've never cried at a movie or at a T.V. show. I'm not a guy who cries easily."

Zac: "I'm a Hanson boy, I don't cry! You can't really cry at Total Recall or Twister can you? - I only watch action films. I'm really looking forward to seing that new Jurassic Park movie. I don't think I'll cry at that."

Have you ever trashed a hotel room?

Taylor: "Yeah, but only because we are really messy. We never keep our rooms clean. We leave clothes everywhere and our skates are always lying in the floor. People always trip over them."

Issac: "We all share a room at home and it looks like we've trashed even though we haven't - It's just messy. I'm trying to learn to be tidier but it's hard when you travel 'cos you live out of a suitcase. It's nice to go home and leave things on the floor."

Zac: "Nooo! Although the whole Hanson family went to the big Doc Martin shoe store in London and we all bought some boots. So every time you come into our hotel room all you can see is different coloured boots everywhere. It's awesome."

Have you ever been thrown out of anywhere?

Taylor: "Yeah, we were thrown out of a toy store recently. They had a display of really bouncy balls and we were allowed to try them out. We ended up bouncing them all over the shop and off the ceiling. ALl the store assistants kept telling us to calm down. in the end we were asked to leave. What did they expect us to do? Not throw the balls after they had asked us to?"

Issac: "Yep. A shopping mall in Oklahoma. We were messing around with some friends the day after we were number one in America. There were 10 of us talking and messing around when this security guard says to us, 'You can't be in more than groups of four without an adult.' Then he threw us out. We were so shocked."

Zac: "I've been thrown out of places with the others but never on my own. So far we've never been thrown out of places where people know who we are - it's only because we've been boys goofing around."

Have you ever broken a bone?

Taylor:"I broke my arm about two years ago. I was going down this huge hill on my bike to see a house my parents were going to buy. They were driving up the hill as I was coming down and I saw the car heading towards me I braked and went straight over the handle bars. I lay in the road while my parents rushed over and picked me up. I looked at my arm and it had just snapped."

Issac: "No, but I did badly sprain my ankle a year ago. I was climbing a plum tree and just fell out and tried to land on my feet. My ankle gave way and it swelled up. The doctors thought I had broken it but it was just really badly bruised. What was I doing in the tree? Hmm, I not sure."

Zac:"I broke my nose when we were firing rocks off a see-saw. We put a rock on one end and then jumped on the other - the rock would go flying across the yard. I put the rock on and then Taylor wacked the other end down and somehow it hit me in the nose. There was blood everywhere."

Do you like being chased by your fans?

Taylor: "I get really embarrassed. We were at McDonald's last week and we were waiting to order our food. All of a sudden there was whispering going up and down the line and people were saying 'Hanson...Taylor'. No-one said anything to me, they just whispered and I was just standing there. In the end I got my food and ran out."

Issac: "When we were filming Top of the Pops for the first time there were 60 fans waiting for us and screaming. We couldn't beleive it 'cos they all knew our names and were yelling at us. We almost thought we had hit somebody because there was all these kids jumping in front of the fan. I find that really scary."

Zac: "I find it weird when fans scream at us because they want to meet us. When we actually go over and talk to them they say nothing. They just look at us and go, 'Erm, um.' That's weird."

If you were asked to wear see-through trousers on stage, would you?

Issac: "No way. I don't do anything we fell uncomfortable with and that would be really uncomfortable..."

Taylor: "Unless I thought they were cool. If we don't like something we'll say no way and put something else on. We have a stylist who buys our clothes but we're always saying we don't like what she gives us"

Zac: "See-through trousers! Are you mad? Are you kidding?"
