We shot 'High School Musical' in eight weeks. I spent longer rehearsing for 'Hairspray' than filming 'High School Musical'.

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 like to go and do something adventurous. I like to go out and do some sort of crazy activity.

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

It's the moms who are overaggressive. A lot of times their daughters are very sweet and cordial, and the moms tend to grab you and scream and want to kiss you. You gotta watch out for the moms.

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.

I'm very competitive by nature. And I like to be the underdog - It's the best way to win. To come from behind and win is a great feeling!
