“People haven't always been there for me but music always has.”

“But bringing people together is what music has always done best.”

“I haven't always been a patient man...but something tells me you'd be worth the wait.”

“Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.”

“It comes to this then: there always have been people like me and always will be, and generally they have been persecuted.”

“We have seen year after year the passion you have for music, and the way you have always been incredibly passionate fans, even though Hanson has not always been the coolest thing to be into.”
