High School Musical has been a blessing and a gift.

I don't think music is done by any means. I would love to do it again but it's finding the right thing.

I'm very competitive by nature. And I like to be the underdog - It's the best way to win. To come from behind and win is a great feeling!

Honestly, if the worst these people can say about me is that I'm gay, then I think I'll be fine. I can handle it.

My advice to teens is to try and do something that scares you every day because it's the only way you can test how far you can really go. Whether it's going out and auditioning for the play or trying out for the basketball team, you have to explore your boundaries and see where you really want to go and the only way you can do that is to break out of your shell.

Life should be fun not dumb

My mom is the No. 1 person who has taught me to be courteous towards women, to always be respectful and polite to them, and to always lead with your heart.
