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.

From day one, I got addicted to being on stage and getting the applause and laughter.

I try to be green as much as I can and it's hard. I feel like I'm never doing enough. [...] For me as an actor, there's only so many things I can do, and this is a way, through a film, to teach and hopefully get the message out to young kids.

I grew up being into sports and I wasn't trained to move my body in the right way for dancing. I'm the last one to get any moves correct. In rehearsals it's always, 'OK, one more take for Zac.'

I can't handle the paparazzi. They're everywhere. One of them was in a dumpster trying to take my photo the other day. It was crazy!

I wouldn't change anything for the world, although the fame part of this [entertainment] industry is tough to handle at times.

It's hard to film underwater. It really is tricky. You don't have goggles, so you can't see anything. You don't know where you're swimming to. Everything's blurry.
