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.

I think if you're fame-hungry, go out to a nightclub and get drunk... why do that? I don't understand how some people would want fame so bad that they'd go out and get negative attention to earn it.

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.

Spider-Man's probably my favorite. You see, Batman is a billionaire and there's nothing really cool about a billionaire saving the world. But Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a conflicted character who puts on a suit and saves the world. I love that.

I think the most important thing is to establish myself as an actor. As much as it's a performing art, I'm not really a performer.

If you really want your hair to look good, just don't wash it for a day. That's my secret.

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