I think it’s fine for girls to ask boys out. I actually prefer it.

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.

I've grown up a lot, I'm on my own, and I've learned some valuable life lessons.

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 connect with people on a daily basis.

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

I don't think there are any rules in real face-to-face relationships or interactions. I think authenticity and being yourself is always, without a doubt, the best plan of action. Things happen differently when you're actually here, so you can't put out a general guideline that's gonna show up in text and be interpreted. There are no rules. Just be yourself.
