If you'd have asked me when I was auditioning for High School Musical if I ever thought I was going to play a Marine.

I can draw really well. And I like to paint. I'm a bit of an artist.

The more attention you give to the paparazzi, the more it just, like, validates everything . . .

I can't remember. . . . My character was sort of unconscious for it.

I wouldn't just have other people write songs and me go out and sing it. I would sit down with a guitar and write 11 or 12 good songs for an album and that is gonna take a long time.

Working out is my biggest hobby. It's my Zen hour. I just zone out.

Honesty is most important, and it's difficult when you're young and single and sort of figuring out your own life.
