I don’t like to live in fear about things like rumors and backlash to begin with - that’s the way I was raised - but I just can’t see what’s so wrong about being gay.

Every time I go to big events, it's a trip. I feel like that kid who shouldn't really be there.

I've been doing musical theater since I was a kid. And look for a CD from me in the future. I want to write all the songs!

I notice people that look good.

I can’t explain to you what it’s like to be a heartthrob. I don’t think I am a heartthrob.

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.

High School Musical has been a blessing and a gift.
