Jesse McCartney is one of the nicest people around. I hate when I hear bad things about him, because anyone who knows him would agree that he's a good guy and really humble.

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

I'm very specific about scripts that I like. I don't have a master plan or, like, a game plan. I don't have a chart that I'm following or anything like that. I'm very much playing it by ear. Certain things just happen and it's undeniable, you just go that way. But I don't have a specific path I'm following, I'm just playing it by ear.

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. Whether it's going out and auditioning for the play or trying out for the basketball team, you have to explore your boundaries and see where you really want to go and the only way you can do that is to break out of your shell.

I've always cared about fashion and what I look like. I don't like to spend a lot of money on designer clothes, but I do like to look good.

High School Musical has been a blessing and a gift.

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