If there's a spotlight on you, people are going to look for a reason to bring you down.

I'm definitely not a dancer. I can move well, but it's more about the acting and the singing for me. Acting and singing are completely different, so I can't say which one I love better because I love them both. I love acting because I get to play different characters. But I also love my music because I get to portray me.

I was actually home-schooled, so I never had the opportunity of going to prom. No-one invited me, I didn't have a good friend like Ashley at the time, that's why High School Musical's been so much fun for me because I got to experience my prom through it. There were amazing friends and I got to wear really cool dresses. It was a fantasy.

I had a gypsy upbringing, so I moved around all over the place and can't remember a street I grew up on.

I feel like women have an easier time separating from their characters than men do.

If you have paparazzi, you know you've gotten somewhere.

If I'm singing, I'm happy - that's what I've learned about myself.
