I want to grow up, live my life, experience things, make movies about those experiences and by the time the audience catches up, hopefully they'll have a movie there that helps them get through that next phase when they discover life isn't always like High School Musical.

I can tell that fame is probably the most unadorable thing about acting. High School Musical is what got me here today and I'm very grateful - but the fame part isn't so fun.

Honesty is most important, and it's difficult when you're young and single and sort of figuring out your own life.

I had a babysitter when I was 12 or younger. I had a big crush on her. She was really spontaneous and fun and loved to make us sing and dance and paint. She was the coolest person in the world. I guess I did have my young love. I did everything to impress her. Everything possible. It was just ridiculous.

Working out is my biggest hobby. It's my Zen hour. I just zone out.

Life should be fun not dumb

A girl can tell I like her when I blush or start telling bad jokes.
